I did set a break in TCustomForm.Activate; And forced a codetool error 
message.

    procedure TMainIDE.DoJumpToCodeToolBossError;
calls
       IDEWindowCreators.ShowForm(MessagesView,true);
followed by
       SourceEditorManager.ShowActiveWindowOnTop(True);

both calls activate the window.

On windows the WM_ACTIVATE messages are handled immediately (during the 
call) and therefore they obey the order.
No idea, maybe GTK re-orders the events?

After all, those calls are the same for win and gtk2. So there must be 
something in the widgetset
