Re: [Question #239147]: Feature request: Bring main window to front when opening new PDF

Adam Bull posted a new comment:
To follow up, the issue is due to what window managers call "focus
stealing prevention" -- essentially, when an application requests focus
from the background, the WM refuses. Using xdotool solves this by
talking to X directly, but I'm don't know if that's a good idea in
general?
