Hello, Perhaps this is easy, perhaps its impossible. However, I think it would increase ion's usability with poorly behaving applications quite a bit. I'd like to be able to tag a transient window and then attach it to a frame as a non-transient. Effectively it would really nice to be able to toggle windows to be transient or not.
Main use: Dialogs in applications like mozilla/open office often are transient and are sometimes only needed for a quick look and no reference to the now obstructed base application is needed. Other times, the dialog box is needed for longer use (find in mozilla, the navigator in open office, etc.) and reference to the obstructed application would be really handy. Kludges can fix some of these problems, but others can't be fixed because the window props aren't set right, or the best behavior is context dependent. In any case, if some clever lua code can be written to do this I'd love a pointer on where to begin. thanks, --chris
