Bug Description

As per your suggestion, I've started using the --unique switch to open qpdfview, since I'd rather have only one instance of the program with multiple tabs.

However, since then I've noticed an undesired effect: When opening the 2nd PDF, the qpdfview window doesn't take focus. So the new PDF file is being opened, but if the window is "behind" another window, it stays in the background.

Just to clarify, this works properly when NOT using the --unique switch - obviously, the newly created window gets the focus.

(I'm filing this as a bug, since I'm pretty sure this wasn't the intended behavior...)

Thanks for reporting. The fix is trunk revision 415 which is now raised and activated upon being requested to process a file via the "--unique" command-line option. Testing (e.g. via the daily debs) is appreciated.
