Description murvk 2009-03-03 04:37:32 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open some GIMP windows 
2. Minimize the GIMP windows
3. Have several other (non-GIMP) applications running and a few of them open and/or maximized
4. Set focus on a non-GIMP window
5. Left click on GIMP icon in taskbar


Stack trace:


Other information:
Basically clicking on the GIMP icon in the Windows taskbar doesn't always yield the proper result, namely that the GIMP windows are opened, positioned, given focus and restored to their original Z-index hierarchy.

Sometimes it works and other times you have to mess with other windows to get the GIMP windows back in focus.

The problem is in GTK+, not GIMP.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and
still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue
for it.
