Adam Reichold posted a new comment:
Interfacing with X11 directly is probably a possibility to force the
issue, but I would prefer not to take that route since it makes platform
integration more complicated, especially as Qt5 tries hard to isolate
applications from the underlying windowing system,  and it also sounds
like breaking the windows manager's focus stealing prevention in the
first place. If the user (or his window manager if it is not
configurable in that regard) decides not to let applications steal the
focus this way, then we should not do that, shouldn't we? Phrased
differently, does your window manager have such a setting and which
effect does it have if you disable focus stealing prevention?
