[magick-users] import: behavior change from R5 to R6?

I have a script that contains the following line:

/usr/bin/import -page 754x582+20+20 $imgname

With ImageMagick 5.5.6 (on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3U5 x64) this does
exactly what I want, it brings the selected window to the foreground and
then captures the window, slightly resizes it, and saves it to file
$imgname.

With ImageMagick 6.2.8 (on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5U1 x64) it does not
bring bring the selected window to the foreground.  Instead, it acts as if I
had added "-screen" to the command line, producing the undesirable behavior
of capturing parts of overlying windows.

I couldn't find an option to force the window to the foreground.  Any
suggestions?
