Robby, your suggestion didn't work with 5.1.1 under Ubuntu.
The difference is that multiple clicks instantiates multiple windows, but
none of them were shown on top.
Anyway I am satisfied with the current state. I can launch other apps using
racket/system and they do take focus!
For example I was able to open a file on Gedit:
#lang slideshow
(require racket/gui racket/system)
*(define (launch-app cmd)*
* (system cmd))*
(define frame (new frame% [label "Example"]))
(define msg (new message% [parent frame]
[label "No events so far..."]))
(new button% [parent frame]
[label "Click Me"]
(callback (λ (button event)
(send msg set-label "Button click"))))
(slide
#:title "Test"
(clickback (hyperlinkize (t "Hello"))
(λ () (send frame show #t)))
*(clickback (hyperlinkize (t "Gedit"))*
* (λ () (launch-app "gedit /proc/cpuinfo")))*)
