One of the little apps I've written in VB6 has the following use case.
1 you use it.
2 you minimize it
3 when its ready, it un-minimizes itself.
What it actually does is it sets it's windowstate to 0 (means not minimized) then sets it's window position to HWND_TOPMOST
then it sets its window position to HWND_NOTOPMOST.
So that it brings itself ontop of other windows, but doesn't lock itself ontop of other windows permanently.
(basically it gets your attention)
Its not popping up.
Running Mate 1.6.0 on Mint 15 x64.

Should I provide a test-app and submit a bug report?
VB6 program fails to un-minimize itself
Re: VB6 program fails to un-minimize itself
I've created a test program to demonstrate the problem
Here is a tar gz file containing VB source files and the compiled exe.

If you'd like to create the program yourself just create a new form then add a timer, textbox and button (named tmrPopup, txtPopupDelay and a cmdTestPopup)
Then paste this code

BTW, I'm running wine 1.6.

Search bugzilla to see if this is a known issue, and if not, file a bug and attach your testcase.
