[Bug 1369424]

[Thomas-luebking]

The behavior is deliberate (manage.cpp:~465 "// If a dialog is shown for
minimized window, minimize it too") and likely intended to prevent the
user from interruptions of minimized windows (the WM cannot decide
whether this is spontanous or required) until the user moves focus to
this window again.

You will also notice that LOo does not unminimize nor (attempt) to gain
focus if you open a *.ods (which does not require a conversion dialog)

More interestingly, though the dialog is initially modal for the present
window, it opens a new window with the csv (here at least), ie. the
transiency and modality seems questionable in the first place.

-----

My suggestion would thus be to rather "fix" the "libreoffice" script to
either map/raise/activate the mainwindow when opening a new document?

Something like

if [ -e "$2" ]; then
   wmctrl -x -a libreoffice
fi

on the head of /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice ?
