How can I push an X app to the front by PID?

I'm trying to write a script that will start an X application if it's not already running, but will find it and pop it to the front if it is already running (maybe it's lost on a busy desktop).

Is there such a mechanism?

Here is part of the logic:
Code:
VRDP="$(ps ax|grep "rdesktop .* $SERVER[:]$PORT")"
if [ -z "$VRDP" ]; then
    rdesktop $SERVER:$PORT &
else
    PID="$(echo $VRDP | sed 's/ *\([0-9]*\) .*/\1/')"
    # Pop $PID to the front here
fi

ALTER 
SERVER(7) SQL Commands ALTER SERVER(7) NAME
ALTER SERVER - change the definition of a foreign server SYNOPSIS
ALTER SERVER servername [ VERSION 'newversion' ] [ OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] ) ] ALTER SERVER servername OWNER TO new_owner DESCRIPTION
ALTER SERVER changes the definition of a foreign server. The first form changes the server version string or the generic options of the server (at least one clause is required). The second form changes the owner of the server. To alter the server you must be the owner of the server. Additionally to alter the owner, you must own the server and also be a direct or indirect member of the new owning role, and you must have USAGE privilege on the server's foreign-data wrapper. (Note that superusers sat- isfy all these criteria automatically.) PARAMETERS
servername The name of an existing server. serverversion New server version. OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] option ['value'] [, ... ] ) Change options for the server. ADD, SET, and DROP specify the action to be performed. ADD is assumed if no operation is explicitly specified. Option names must be unique; names and values are also validated using the server's foreign-data wrapper library. EXAMPLES
Alter server foo, add connection options: ALTER SERVER foo OPTIONS (host 'foo', dbname 'foodb'); Alter server foo, change version, change host option: ALTER SERVER foo VERSION '8.4' OPTIONS (SET host 'baz'); COMPATIBILITY
ALTER SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). SEE ALSO
