Most dialogs are transient, therefore the name which comes from the transient_for property used to indicate the main window for a dialog. (But the extended wm hints specification in its great wisdom breaks this ICCCM convention.) > How is this managed in the current devel-version? Where does it place > transients, and what size does it give them (max-height/max-width?)?. Transients are placed at the bottom of the main windows (oops.. I should've said south instead of north gravity). The height is the previous client-requested height unless there is not enough space and the width is always the maximum (both modulo size hints). Main windows are centered in the frame if the size hints limit them smaller than the available space. -- Tuomo
