I don't have KDE in front of me right now, but I'm guessing there's
probably a dcop message you can send either to the app, or to the kwin
process.

Just guessing, but something along the lines of:

  dcop app app-mainwindow\#1 show

Where app is the app in question.
Maybe poke at the kdcop GUI interface to the dcop's of the running apps.

Good luck!
