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.

sorry for taking so long. lost in the mail...

i applied the patch, without the constuctor stuff. i'd appriciate if you
tell me if it works without changing the flags.

although, if it does work, it still has no bearing on the search dialog situation right?

thanks
