Hi,

The options:

window manager tweaks - accessibility -  raise window when any mouse button is pressed

and 

windowmager - focus - raise on click

I think it's not really clear, what's the difference.

How many buttons do you have on your mouse?

Hint: That's the differences

Then they should be grouped together and the expression should be the same:

[ ]   raise window when left mouse button is pressed
       
            [ ] raise window when any mouse button is pressed
      
That is understood more easily.

That's different things.

"window manager => focus => raise window when clicking inside application
window" determines if the window should be raised when clicking inside the
window (or only when clicking on the window decorations).

"window manager tweaks => accessibility => raise window when any mouse button
is pressed" determines if raising happen only for button 1 or for any button.
That's a less used option, some people expect the window t be raised with
copy/paste with middle mouse button whereas others do not want this behaviour.

But your suggestion makes sense too, patch welcome (not for 4.6 though because of strings freeze)

Marking duplicate if 8756 which has more user comments and a clearer title.
