I would like to have a keyboard shortcut to "go to" (focus + raise) window with URGENT flag set which looks like URGENT: it appears on the taskbar (Gnome + Metacity) even if it is on desktop other than current and starts to blink (thanks to @slm for pointing it out). This window might be on other virtual desktop than current.

I was looking into xdotool and wmctrl command with no luck. Any ideas or clues? --- **Update:** It appears, that I'm talking about _NET_WM_STATE = _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION ...
