I'll work on trying that in a bit ... never built XQuartz from source
before.

I do usually click on X11 windows to switch apps, but I experimented
with clicking on the XQuartz dock icon instead (in 10.12.5 + XQuartz
2.7.11).  Doesn't seem to change anything --- TMHelperAgent, for one,
still causes several momentary focus losses during each Time Machine
backup run.  It looks like they might be a bit shorter than usual,
but hard to say for sure.
