// window is created. If the window level changes after that, as
// a result of a call to setWindowFlags, or by changing the level
// of the native window, we will not pick this up, and the window
// will be left behind (or in a different window level than) its
// parent. We could KVO-observe the window level of our transient
// parent, but that requires us to know when the parent goes away
// so that we can unregister the observation before the parent is
// dealloced, something we can't do for generic NSWindows. Another
// way would be to override [NSWindow setLevel:] and notify child
// windows about the change, but that doesn't work for foreign
// windows, which can still be transient parents via fromWinId().
// One area where this problem is apparent is when AppKit tweaks
// the window level of modal windows during application activation
// and deactivation. Since we don't pick up on these window level
// changes in a generic way, we need to add logic explicitly to
// re-evaluate the window level after AppKit has done its tweaks.

// around Qt Designer parenting the designer windows to the widget
// palette window (QTBUG-31779). This should be fixed in designer.
