Subject: -gui option causes first GUI window to show up behind others
Using pp v0.11 (Par 0.83). Running ActiveState perl 5.8.3 on Windows XP. Created stand-alone executable (using 'pp -o out.exe name.pl') of a GUI application using WIN32::GUI v0.0.671 and made with WIN32::GUI::Loft v0.23. Executable works fine with console enabled. The gui window shows up on top of everything. However, when using the "--gui" option to create an executable to run without console, the gui window no longer shows up on top. Instead, it tends to show up behind one or more other windows that are already open on the desktop. Program still works correctly, but the first window just opens behind other windows, until manually brought into focus with a mouse click. Minor annoyance only. Also, could possibly be a fault with Win32:GUI or Win32::GUI::Loft and not with PAR.

Sorry for the late answer. I picked up PAR maintenance and I am working through old tickets. Is this still applicable to PAR 0.94? Thanks, Steffen
