When did you issue this "Style * StartsOnPageIgnoresTransients" style? Was it post-mapping of transient windows of afterwards -- i.e, just defined in your config? > I read some code and wrote a trivial fix that is attached, but I believe > that for carrying this completely out, there needs to be decided what is > actually the default placement policy of transient windows. I suppose How they're handled now is the default -- and that transient windows are placed where their parents are. This to me is the correct behaviour. Your patch is slightly flawed (I will improve it in due course) as well as lacking several other meta pieces of data -- you need to read the doc/DEVELOPERS file. That, and we're in a feature-freeze anyway, so I can't accept this, as it's not even a bug-fix. Please watch this space for my reply -- just don't hound me about it, as I am very busy. I will get round to my critique when I can. -- Thomas Adam -- "It was the cruelest game I've ever played and it's played inside my head." -- "Hush The Warmth", Gorky's Zygotic Mynci.
