Balsa uses gtk_window_present() to let the window manager know that the running copy should be brought to the user's attention, but the w-m chooses how to do that. In Gnome Shell, all I see is a popup at the bottom of the screen saying that "Balsa is ready", but the window isn't raised. That seems like an unfriendly choice! Also, if I use 'balsa -m someone' from the command line, the compose window is behind the terminal, when you'd expect it to be in front. So, yes, GApplication seems to be doing its thing, but the w-m can frustrate it! Best, Peter
