I wonder if we should make this a method on the FigureManager[TkAgg] - that way we can re-use in code too.

Long-term, it might make sense to have a standard API for requests to the window manager. (We can't do more than make requests; each particular window manager has the final say.) I'm reluctant to try to design this now, though, so I'm not sure it would be a good idea to add to our public API by putting this (and the raise() in qt) into methods. It's debatable, and I have been on the fence about it.
