No it's not. At lease the following code
                /*
                fl_show_form(form(),
                             FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE,
                             FL_TRANSIENT,
                             title.c_str());
                */
                fl_show_form(form(),
                             FL_PLACE_ICONIC | FL_FREE_SIZE,
                             FL_FULLBORDER,
                             title.c_str());
                fl_raise_form(form());

leaves the dialog iconified. Have to physically click on the thing to bring 
it up.

I've trawled through the manual and can find nothing that will "raise" an 
iconified icon. Not even:

                fl_show_form(form(),
                             FL_PLACE_ICONIC | FL_FREE_SIZE,
                             FL_FULLBORDER,
                             title.c_str());
                fl_show_form(form(),
                             FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE,
                             FL_FULLBORDER,
                             title.c_str());

Incidentally, the bug I reported about minimising the wrong window appears to 
be window manager specific. Bug present in kde 1.1 kwm but not in 
kde 2.0 kwin.
