Suggestion for an option to raise dialogs to the top

It would be nice if there was an option to bring the application to the top. This is possible to do on individual toplevel widgets, but not for the application as a whole. For example something like: QApplication::activate().

This is particularly a problem when using a dock menu on Mac. Described at the following URL: http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq18-macfeatures.html

If the application does not have any visual toplevel widgets, it is not possible to use QWidget::raise() before showing a modal dialog. When having a different application active and then showing a modal dialog by using a menu from the dock on Mac, the dialog will be shown behind the active window. It seems impossible to get the dialog to be shown at top currently when done in this manner.
