selector needs to notify of needs-attention windows too

Description
This is related to #120439, which should fix it in the case of the libwnck tasklist, but there are two other cases which occur with varying degrees of common-ness that should be addressed somehow. These are mentioned in http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2005-May/msg00050.html.
Case one is: you're not on the desktop that has the application who tried to raise or created a new window, so you don't see the the tasklist flashing.
Case two is: you don't have a tasklist - I don't! I use only the drop-down window menu in the top right.
The first is pretty important I think, the 2nd perhaps less so, but they could both be solved if Metacity included some way of indicating withdrawn windows that demand attention. Maybe the first could be solved in the pager though.
