Quick patch

SDL_OnWindowRestored currently calls SDL_RaiseWindow, which causes undesired behavior: if the application window is in the background, and the user switches to another desktop, then back, the application brings itself to the foreground.

I'm sure there must be a reason why this needs to happen on some platforms, but it would be nice to have a hint to turn it off.

Can you double check that this fixes your issue?

Comment 2 Katie Stafford 2014-03-28 03:28:34 UTC 
Yes, that would solve the issue. If it gets re-added in the future, I still think a hint to disable it wouldn't hurt.
Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2014-04-18 05:56:35 UTC 
Okay, let's see if this looks good in the wild.
