I could be wrong since I'm only looking at the code rather than actually
running it, but it appears to me that after applying the patch anyone
using GTK3 will lose the "raise console" functionality.   Is that not true
for the mingw build, or is it just that the mingw build is still using GTK2?

I'm OK with that but people keep telling me it is need for Windows.
