How can I have a program open with the window above all others
I have been searching all day and can not find a thing on this problem. I am writing a script (in tcsh) that is initializing a program (specifically kuickshow in the kde environment) in the background. What I want is for that program to open up on top of all other windows (IOW with the ">Advanced->Keep Above Others" flag set (Actually I would prefer that, along with the ">To Desktop->All Desktops" flag set - but I'll take what I can get). Or at least pass the focus to the new window through the script, so rises to the top layer.
the -geometry flag doesn't help, for one it's opening a specific .jpg file and the geometry command apparently gets overwritten by the file size. But even if I could change the size or even make it go full screen, it still comes up behind the other windows. It's designed to be an alarm - but it's not much good if it's hidden when it comes up.
Anyone know how to commnad the layers of the system in a command line?
Thanks
Dono
