Hello.

Well, the WM name is openbox. A patch which "somewhat ameliorates",
eg. does not solve the problem completely, is at

http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~palej3am/krusader_dialog.patch

It merely changes the parent of the viewer. Maybe (I'm not sure),
changing the flags in the constructor is unnecessary.
