Alternatively, they could set the _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION state,
as described in the extended wm hints spec:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html

They claim that the URGENT hint doesn't have the right semantics:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2003-October/msg00034.html :

        Technically, UrgencyHint and STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION cannot be
        the same. 
        UrgencyHint is controlled only by the client, both set and
        reset, while 
        STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION can be set by both, and is unset by the
        WM (KWin does 
        so when the window gets activated).
