Hi, I usually have a lot of windows stacked on my desktop, which often obscures the 'footprint window' in CvPcb. Pressing the 'view selected footprint' brings the window up the _first_ time, but when it is already there, it stays buried - which is frustrating.
So I created the following patch, that works well in Linux and does exactly how it should behave: bringing the window second in the stack of windows on the screen. The focus still stays on CvPcb, but the window is brought as much to the top as possible. I don't know if there is a special function in wxWidgets to achieve that, but the proposed method in the patch works fine. There is a slight chance that this might create a flicker-experience in some other OSes window managers, so please give suggestions how this could be worked around there, if it turns out to be a problem.
