# This method (mostly) solves (at least on my Windows 10 machine) three issues
# with window activation. Without this not even too hacky a fix,
# * When dialog is opened from Yomichan *for the first time* since app start,
# the dialog opens in background (just like Browser does),
# but does not flash in taskbar (unlike Browser);
# * When dialog is opened, closed, *then main window is focused by clicking in it*,
# then dialog is opened from Yomichan again, same issue as above arises;
# * When dialog is restored from minimized state *and main window isn't minimized*,
# opening the dialog from Yomichan does not reliably focus it;
# sometimes it opens in foreground, sometimes in background.
# With this fix, windows nearly always appear in foreground in all three cases.
# In the case of the first two issues, strictly speaking, the fix is not ideal:
# the window appears in background first, and then quickly pops into foreground.
# It is not *too* unsightly, probably, no-one will notice this;
# still, a better solution must be possible. TODO find one!
#
# Note that operation systems, notably Windows, and desktop managers, may restrict
# background applications from raising windows to prevent them from interrupting
# what the user is currently doing. For details, see:
