IIUC it is effective only if you are in a w3m-mode buffer and visit
a page as a new tab.  Unfortunately, I can imagine it is hard to
make emacs-w3m raise a frame without focusing it, since the frame
creation relies on a window manager and Emacs doesn't necessarily
control well any kind of system.

In Cygwin, the function `raise-frame' doesn't raise nor focus an
existing lowered frame for example (I have a workaround to make it
work, of course ;-), so at least I'm not suited to improve it.
