BuildId: post 4.1M5, but not quite HEAD.

I'm trying to cause a window to be raised to the top and given focus.  Unfortunately either it doesn't work, or I can't find the right combination of calls to ensure it does.

I've tried calling EModelService.bringToTop(), and MApplication#setSelectedElement(window), but to no avail.

The only way I've found to ensure the window is brought to the top is to call:

		window.setVisible(false);
		window.setVisible(true);

But this does not set focus to window.
