I have asked this in the past, and someone else recently asked a similar 
question.  When I press F1 in Mathematica and the HelpBrowser is already 
opened, the only thing that happens is that the icon in the task bar flashes.  
I have also noticed that when I open Mozilla from the command line, the 
profile dialog does not come to the fore.  If I open Mozilla in the Alt+F2 
launch field, the profile dialog comes to the fore.  If I have kdict open, 
and Alt+F2, it _does_ come to the fore.  That is an improvement on the status 
some months back.

This may be a security feature intended to prevent malicious programs from 
hijacking a password dialog, etc., but I would like to override it in some 
cases.  Is there a way I can get Mathematica's HelpBrowser, and other such 
apps to do more than flash the icon when the window is selected?
