'choose alternate icon' dialogue appears directly behind 'new panel launcher'...

Because the 'new panel launcher' dialogue is always on-top, the window for
choosing an alternate icon for a launcher is always behind it - this makes
things really really annoying, as you have to move both windows to opposite
corners of the screen in order to choose an icon for your launcher.

This feature seems to be >= 4.0.3

Could some tweak be added to allow windows pertaining to the 'new panel
launcher' dialogue to be on the same level as it, or on-top of it, or possibly
have pertinant windows moved to opposite corners so both can be seen, a-la the
window-revealer effect in OSX?

Additional information:

I am using xfce4-panel-4.0.3 on Gentoo 1.4, with kernel 2.6.1 - mm r2

I don't see this behaviour myself.

To me it seems the code correctly sets the file selection dialog transient for
the property dialog window, so the window manager should put it above that
dialog.

What version of xfwm4 do you use? I tested with 4.0.3.1.
Comment 3 benxor 2004-01-17 14:28:15 CET
I'm not using xfwm4 =P I use ROX-Filer 2.1.0 as my 'window manager' so I can
use it as a pinboard. I also use metacity 2.6.3, not xfdesktop.
Comment 4 Jasper Huijsmans editbugs 2004-01-17 14:42:44 CET
erm, I assume you mean metacity as window manager and ROX pinboard instead of
xfdesktop ... ;-)

Anyway, looking at the code in the panel, I believe metacity is at fault in
this case.

marking 'not a bug' based on jasper's comments plus the fact this hasn't
been touched in almost 3 months.

stupid, wrong resolution
Comment 7 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2004-04-08 19:54:21 CEST
