Yes; setting parent() 'seems to work',
though I noticed the current() technique is what
fltk's own fl_message/fl_ask dialog is using.

Yes, that's from the docs on the Fl_Window ctor.
The parent() line is above that, first paragraph in the
'Description' section. Goes back to at least fltk 1.1.3
(oldest rev I've got on my machine), so it should be in there.
Often, though, I refer to the web docs to keep up to date:
http://fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/toc.html
Nice thing about that page is it also has user comments
which are sometimes useful.
