[Idle-dev] Running a program

[Bruce Sherwood]

There's one other environment behavior that may need some attention and 
which hasn't been mentioned explicitly. When a compile or execution error 
occurs, it is important that the window containing the error message come 
forward. At present it can happen that the error is not visible because its 
window is occluded. I've found that exhortations to nonexpert programmers 
to keep the idlefork window open in a clear part of the screen are not very 
effective, so this window-forward behavior is important.

Also, on Linux I have seen the open-file dialog box come up behind other 
windows, which is both confusing and inconvenient.
