The correct method is present, e.g. get the window, then do "window.present()".

It was nearby.

The application is a radar detector (the Valentine V1, which I've supported in minigpsd). When it detects something I really, really want it to come to the top and turn the display on. It will also likely be captive in my waterproof box on my motorcycle, so I won't be doing much fingering.

I'm close to simulating the signaling tones, but first needed to get the display working properly.

(side note - the converse is window.iconify() )
