(like the case in Firefox). A modal window freezes the other windows, period. This is what "modal" means and what gtk_dialog_run() is supposed to do. This has nothing to do with the stack order of the windows, although it is common practice to keep the modal window above the stack. gtk_window_set_transient_for() sends a hint to the window manager, asking to keep one window above another, and can be done either for modal and non-modal windows. So with gtk_widget_show() and gtk_window_set_transient_for() you get a *non-modal* window that stays on top of the parent window. -- Nicola _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
