Bring QDialog to front

[mitro]

I have a QDialog and a QSystemTrayIcon. When the user clicks close or minimize buttons the dialog hides to the system tray icon. If then the user activates the icon the dialog is shown on the top of the desktop. It works fine. Here is the code:

void EAController::iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason)
{
  switch (reason) {
    case QSystemTrayIcon::Trigger:
      mainDialog->showNormal();
      mainDialog->activateWindow();
      mainDialog->raise();
      break;
  }
}

void EAController::iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason)
{
  switch (reason) {
    case QSystemTrayIcon::Trigger:
      mainDialog->showNormal();
      mainDialog->activateWindow();
      mainDialog->raise();
      break;
  }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem comes when the dialog is on the desktop but behind some other window. I click the tray icon, the dialog activates but still remains behind other window (now deactivated). How can I force the dialog to appear on the top? I use Ubuntu 7.10 with GNOME 2.20.1

Dont know if it will make any difference, but I use:

dialogue->show();
dialogue->raise();
dialogue->activateWindow();

dialogue->show();
dialogue->raise();
dialogue->activateWindow();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You have got raise and activatewindow the other way round.

The result is the same. But anyway thanks for the suggestion!

Hm! Compiled for Windows and everything there worked as it should. I guess the reason is inside GNOME
