Follow-up Comment #1:

When the windows are detached, Bibledit now tries to present all the editors.
If any editor is minimized, it should present itself to the user.

The following function is used for that:

gtk_window_present ()

void                gtk_window_present                  (GtkWindow *window);

Presents a window to the user. This may mean raising the window in the
stacking order, deiconifying it, moving it to the current desktop, and/or
giving it the keyboard focus, possibly dependent on the user's platform,
window manager, and preferences.

If window is hidden, this function calls gtk_widget_show() as well.

This function should be used when the user tries to open a window that's
already open. Say for example the preferences dialog is currently open, and
the user chooses Preferences from the menu a second time; use
gtk_window_present() to move the already-open dialog where the user can see
it.


Trying this out on Ubuntu 9.04, the Bibledit windows try to present
themselves, because their icons are flashing in the taskbar. However the
windows manager prevents the windows from actually presenting themselves. The
nett result is that the user does not see the window, but a flashing icon in
the taskbar. This is not Bibledit's fault, but is a setting made in Gnome.

As far as Bibledit is concerned, the code is now correct.

Closing this bug.
