Bug Description
Binary package hint: transmission
When I click on a torrent file in my browser, transmission stays behind it and only the flashing taskbar button implies that there's something going on with it. Please make transmission bring its main window to the top and catch the user's eye.

This is the scenario that gtk_window_ set_urgency_ hint() was created for, and that's what Transmission already uses.
My gut feeling is that forcing a window raise as suggested here would make a couple of users happy, and annoy everyone else.
If there is "prior art" about this with other official Gnome applications[1], I'd be happy to reconsider this decision to make Transmission behave in a manner consistent with other Gnome apps.
