it was launched from, and stays on top of that. You can disable it by
unsetting the WINDOWID variable."

My version of zenity is also 2.30.0, i mistyped it before, cause i was
testing it on 9.10 too.
Lately i realised that this behavior is a matter of the window manager.

Also, the Zenity version in 10.04 is 2.30.0; please make sure you're up-

@log69:
It's likely a problem with your window manager or its focus-stealing
prevention level. Running what you provided opens a Zenity dialog above
the current terminal (and it even appears to stay on top of the terminal
as a modal dialog).

Steve:
If you look at zenity.glade more closely, it defines each possible top level
widget on its own (eg Calendar, Question, Info dialog etc). So this bug
affects all widget types, and they need to be individually fixed.
The existing behavior (in intrepid and earlier releases) was that zenity
I don't agree.
Let's not forget that Zenity is used to display GTK+ dialogs in shell scripts.
If I execute a shell script with zenity pop-ups, they ALWAYS appear under any
other window. This is the right thing?

It's for 2.24 version, is it also valid for 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 version?
Why this problem appear again?

I couldn't get it to focus when using the --scale dialog for some

Im not sure why zenity shouldn't steal focus, because imho most of the
times that's the whole purpose of using zenity.
Waiting for feedback from a script for a whole minute and then realising
there's a hidden dialog waiting for input is NOT a good thing...

I can confirm that the gnome bug (448946) represents the state of things
as of Hardy/8.04 (zenity 2.22.1-1), but that zenity in intrepid (zenity

be an even worse over-correction.
