Comment 1 for bug 353777

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.
