Description George Yohng 2009-03-17 01:07:33 UTC

Version:           0.70.0 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), MS Visual Studio 2005 SP1)
Compiler:          cl.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (unknown) release 6.1

When a notification message from Kopete is happening, pressing 'View' does not bring the chat window to front. It appears behind other opened windows.

One needs to click a taskbar to bring the window up.

This is not specific to Kopete, but also works the same with other applications. Such as when Konqueror or other KDE applications are started from within other KDE application, the window of this new application appears behind the existing ones.

All-in-all, it seems that KDE application lacks the ability to bring the window to front on Windows.
