Description Roman Gilg 2016-10-09 10:19:17 UTC

This could be a problem in general for gui applications, which only allow one instance.

When System Settings are already opened, opening again for example from the launcher doesn't raises the window or gives focus.

Reproducible: Always

Related to https://todo.kde.org/?controller=task&action=show&task_id=1767

KDBusService activate needs to somehow tell KWin that the application is about to show itself again. Tricky.

Can you link to the task on Phabricator, since the above link is dead now?

The idea I posted in that phab task sounds reasonable.

This is part of the activation protocol that is currently WIP.
