I try this :
QWidget * activewindow = qApp->activeWindow();

if (activewindow)
    if (MythDialog * mythActiveWindow
          = dynamic_cast<MythDialog*>(activewindow))
      cout << "Myth activewindow " <<mythActiveWindow->name() << endl;
    else if (QDialog * mythActiveWindow
             = dynamic_cast<QDialog*>(activewindow))
      cout << "QDialog activewindow " <<mythActiveWindow->name() << endl;

to get the active window, but the result is always like this :
QDialog activewindow unnamed

What is strange is that activeWindow is a QDialog and the name always 
"unnamed". if someone know how to get the active MythDialog, can he tell 
me ?
