Gnucash OS X Binary Popup Windows

[Antoine Schweitzer-Chaput]

There's another issue with these popup dialogs when they are displayed  
during startup (typically Tip-of-the-day and Since-Last-Run): they are  
pushed back to the background when the main window shows up.
I find this annoying especially in the case of Since-Last-Run since it  
may require some manual action to validate overdue transactions but  
may be unnoticed when in the background.

This occurs on both OSX versions (X11 and Quartz) but I think it's  
more generic and is caused by the window display sequence during  
startup:
1. the main window is created but remains hidden because it's not yet  
populated
2. the book is opened and analyzed
3. the HOOK_BOOK_OPENED is executed causing the Since-Last-Run window  
to be displayed
4. the main window is displayed

One way to solve this is to add a call to  
gnc_main_window_show_all_windows() at the end of gnc_post_file_open()  
just before calling gnc_book_opened(), but this doesn't sound like a  
really good solution to me...
Maybe someone familiar with this part of the code would find a better  
way?

Regards,

Antoine
