+Note that inverse search with the Evince PDF viewer or its MATE fork
+Atril might fail in raising the Emacs frame after updating point in your

+frame is not raised after performing an inverse search from Evince or
+Atril, you can customize the following option.

+A function that will be called after performing an inverse search from
+Evince or Atril in order to raise the current Emacs frame.

+If your Emacs frame is already raised in that situation, just leave this
+variable set to @code{nil}. Otherwise, here are some alternative
+settings that work for some users.

+;; Alternative 2: Under GNOME 3.20 (and probably others), it

+;; some window gets the focus immediately after the user has
+;; clicked in some other window. Here waiting a bit before
+;; issuing the request seems to work.
