I suggest that we number the LyX windows and we put that number in the title bar of the LyX window itself and of any child window. We could do something in 1.6 though... Abdel.

We should definitely cleanup the dialogs in 1.6 (or 1.5.x). My opinion is that any dialog that aims to stay a dialog should be a modal dialog. All the others should be converted to DockWidget (so that those really preferring them as dialog can still use them this way by detaching them) or toolbars indeed. Abdel.

Hi!
Is there a reason that the non-modal dialogs (like to edit tables,
change text styles etc.) depend on the LyX window? You can open another
one for every window which is open. It's somehow strange and confusing
to have a text style dialog, but it doesn't work because it belongs to
another window.
That's just the way they were designed. getDialogs belongs to the
LyXView. When a dialog is created, it contains a pointer to this
LyXView so that it can dispatch requests back to it. See
src/frontends/controllers/Kernel.cpp:
33 void Kernel::dispatch(FuncRequest const fr) const
34 {
35 lyxview_.dispatch(fr);
36 }
