The function is not supposed to be an extra superfluous wrapper around QWidget, but typically used to control windows IN ANOTHER PROCESS.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">This raises the question whether that's possible on OSX at all.
If not, testing for an in-process window (search toplevels only?) is ok, but the failure should cause a big fat warning to the developer that this code isn't portable.</p></pre>

I highly doubt that one could meddle with those, and as I must have written in the comments somewhere, you cannot convert the WId to a pointer to an actual window object if it's not owned by ourselves.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">What exactly are you proposing concerning that big fat warning?
Do you know of code that uses this kind of functionality cross-process, apart from kwin and maybe a couple of goodies that aren't relevent outside of a Plasma workspace?</p></pre>

Does this imply that activating won't work either for other PID windows? (The comments actually seem to suggest so)
In case: why mess with the cocoa API itfp? You could just as well wrap around Qt (w/ a //TODO or similar)</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">m_DebugClient could be set in a header inline, depending on whether QT_DEBUG is defined (or QT_NO_DEBUG is not defined)</p></pre>

It's system software, and probably interacts with the window manager.
But I should rephrase, maybe: "it won't work" means there's no documented way to achieve raising and the like across process boundaries. As long as you don't want to or cannot use AppleScript, and in this case we cannot because we cannot use the WId.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I do think that the Cocoa API gives a bit more functionality than wrapping Qt calls would, but I can have another look at that.</p></pre>

I find it hard to believe that there's no access to windows on Cocoa (but on apple script) - wouldn't eg growl allow you to activate the sender window?</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">But I've spoken a little bit too soon. There <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">is</em> actually a potential way to tell another application to raise a specific window. In ObjC, invoking a class instance's member function is called sending a message to that instance ... and those messages <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">can</em> be used for IPC. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7448068/in-cocoa-or-generally-in-objective-c-is-there-a-way-to-send-a-message-to-objec . It's a feature I've never used so I tend to forget about it, and the question remains if we can actually use this without a substantial rewrite. And the big question remains: how to glean the required information from a WId. The documentation suggests that a WId is actually an <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">NSWindow*</code> on OS X, but from what I've seen this is no (no longer) correct.</p></pre>

For convenience and future-proofness (and also because I like the language) I converted <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">kwindowsystem_mac.cpp</code> to ObjC++, i.e. <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">kwindowsystem_mac.mm</code>, and added the AppKit framework in the CMakeFile.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Much of the code in this file is hardly better than gentle hacking, but that probably concerns the functions that are of least interest on a platform where KDE doesn't do session management.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I should probably update the "not yet implemented" debug statements (to "unsupported"), and I might have another look at kwindowinfo_mac.cpp too.</p></pre>
