The MPRIS Raise method of the MediaPlayer2 interface does not require a
timestamp parameter and this leads to focus issues in recent linux
window managers (such as compiz, mutter or xfce) that need the event
timestamp that triggered the call in order to correctly focus and raise
a window. Otherwise the focus stealing prevention of the window managers
would avoid a media player to be fully raised.

See for example this Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-
design/+bug/627195

So, we should deprecate this method and provide another - say -
RaiseWithTimestamp method that players should use to correctly raise
their windows.
