To reproduce simply start the application on OS X and you will not see the new "first time" dialog but when you close MantidPlot you realise that it is behind the application.

Hmm. This will need some speculative development on the mac, so I was hoping you could help out.

I changed the dialog from being "Always on top" as is did not work with web links opening up underneath the "always on top" dialog.

This seems to be fine on windows and linux, but obviously not the mac. Perhaps that needs a conditional compilation part as long as Always on top does not cause the problem there. I don't know if the is a z order option to do a one off on top command.

There appear to be further issues on OS X 10.9. The dialog does not look good. See attached image.

I also now do have a concern that it generally doesn't fit with the rest of the look and feel of MantidPlot.

Could we just add the links to the old dialog? While basic, it was in keeping with everything else.

Delay raising first time dialog until event loop is processing.

If not, the dialog appers below everything on OS X as raise() does nothing Refs #10707
