Hey all,

I'm trying to raise a Qt window by calling raise() on it. So far the code 
essentially looks like this:

w->show();
w->setWindowState(w->windowState() & ~Qt::WindowMinimized);
w->raise();
w->activateWindow();

Now, when the window is obscured by some other window and KWins focus 
prevention is set to anything but None, the window is not being raised. How 
can I make this work even when focus prevention is set to Low?

I also notice that the exact same code actually seems to work for another 
application. I.e. it works with KDevelop, but it doesn't work with Charm. The 
latter window has no widgets that take direct user input, while the former has 
a KTextEditor view. Is KWin taking this into account, and then thinks that 
Charm is not raise-worthy since there is no widget that would take input? Is 
there any way to convince KWin of the opposite?

Thanks
