Anyhoo, Hope this helps :)
Thanks for the hint. It comes kinda close but doesn't give me what I was looking for; floating windows _on top_ (and independently) of the frames. I'd like to have XMMS and other apps (e.g. mplayer) just floating over my frames because as everybody knows these don't work well with ion otherwise. The final killer-feature in that department would be floating transients. Not being able to drag around the "find"-dialog in galeon can be _very_ frustrating and with current ion there seems to be no easy fix. The most natural fix IMHO would be to just make transients (optionally) floating. What do the code weavers think? :-) regards
