Hi! I just wanted to check if the behaviour I'm seeing is a bug in metacity or me misinterpreting the spec.
What I'm trying to do is create an application modal window (i.e. modal for all windows in a group). The spec says: "_NET_WM_STATE_MODAL indicates that this is a modal dialog box. If the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint is set to another toplevel window, the dialog is modal for that window; if WM_TRANSIENT_FOR is not set or set to the root window the dialog is modal for its window group." However, metacity only behaves correctly when WM_TRANSIENT_FOR is set to the root window, which (judging from the archives) is the old way of doing things. Since this is a new implementation I'd prefer to do it the "new" way (i.e. don't set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR at all). I found some modality bugs in GNOME's bugzilla, but nothing that seemed to cover this problem.
