[ disclaimer : I'm the author of most of the things in detach.lua ] Well, detach.lua allows two great things for me : * people who don't use ion don't laugh at me anymore when I open a small popup in a fullscreen application (that's more or less the opposite of the problem of transient in too small windows : you get a huge window, with, eg, two small buttons on the sides). * I can continue using the background application even with a transient on top of it, and I can use several transient with the same application. I'd say I rediscovered ion3 after detach.lua existed, the main drawback of ion for me had gone away ! The main problem of it is that it puts the windows in a float workspace which is shared between the workspaces (it is on the layer2 of the _screen_). When dealing with several applications using transient on different workspaces, this is a problem. -- Matthieu
