[Freeciv-Dev] [gtk] message window remains hidden when in background (+ minimal patch) (PR#902)

OS: lunix debian 2.2
Submission from: (NULL) (213.195.6.62)


When the message window is grabbed under the main window 
(i.e. in the background but not closed !), messagewin.c:popup_meswin_dialog
does not bring it in the foreground again. In particular F10 and the
corresponding menu item leave it under the main window (which is confusing,
because the user thinks the message window does not work any more).

Proposed patch (It works with my installation. Though, because I'm totally
novice with gdk / gtk, the patch definitely needs review. Good point: It's
a minimal patch. 1 line inserted :-)
