Re: Raising a toplevel window

I was also thinking of "raise", but my solution didn't work
The only thing that happens is that in the desktop's taskbar the icon for the
toplevel started to flash but the toplevel window wasn't raised

That is a user preference setting, introduced because of all the
nasty obnoxious web sites and programs that keep covering what
you are working on.

In KDE it is implemented idiotically, because it is bundled
with control for "stealing focus", and it makes no distinction
for multiple windows of the same application. Moreover, raising
is prohibited for any level of protection, so you have to set
the level to "none". I think it is on an "advanced" tab in
the settings for window behaviour.
