Foregrounding KDE apps from a script


Hi, does anyone know if there is a method of making a running KDE app bring itself to the front (and un-minimize if it is minimized), from a script?

Specifically I'm looking for a mechanism which works with amarok, but if there is method which works with all KDE apps, that would be more useful.

Hello, you can try wmctrl -a "window title" to raise it, check the help for other options.
