I was not looking for a solution like modifing my pd.tk because in my particular case i am just using gnome with compiz and solved the issue.
My question was how to assure that when sharing a patch with other newbies using gnome, our patch will open the patch with the window popping in front of all windows... without ask the newbie to modify pd.tk variables...
Would this be possible sending a command to the śys_gui object or tot or some object that can modify tcl-tk like that? (assuming they are using something like pd-extended >=0.40)
BTW, at pd 0.42.5 do you mean "wm group $name ." at proc pdtk_canvas_new ?
I am not sure I could follow all your ideas about that, sorry my limited knowledge about this..
