Yann:
Hm.. I thought groups are somehow handled on win32 platform, I don't know X and
*nix WMs.
I just checked. Indeed I have two top-level windows (though I may reconsider it
since I want some special effects particular to popup windows on win32
platform). When I have my dialog transient to one of the main windows, I have
the dialog centered over my window, but the window is still inaccessible :(
That is what I've tried.
void MainWindow::OnCursorSettings() {
ghost = new GhostWindow();
cursor.set_transient_for(*ghost);
ghost->show();
int res = cursor.run();
}
I do want dialog to block MainWindow only, not the ghost one.
I assume you meant the opposite to have a main window transient for dialog.
void MainWindow::OnCursorSettings() {
ghost = new GhostWindow();
set_transient_for(cursor);
ghost->show();
cursor.show();
}
This froze my application. Also it seems awkward if dialog is not modal and I
cannot get result in a usual way.
Any other suggestions? I was thinking about Gtk::Main::iteration . But it is a
static function. I'm not sure how two different loops (in case of a dialog)
coexist.

Subject: Re: extra alive window while dialog is running?
Aren't window groups only hints for the window manager ?
If you create two toplevel windows and then a dialog which is transient for one
of the two toplevels, provided that the dialog is not modal, it should not
prevent you from acting on the other toplevel window…
