IMO any way to make "the window" transient for plasma is suboptimal. a) it's a lie. period. at best an abuse ;-) b) while certainly possible the pass this along the dbus call of the action it requires support from both sides (across toolkits, DE supporters) as well as a usable leader WId and is quite system specific (focus stealing prevention is not NETWM compliant, sending a WId to be transient for requires NETWM as well as "a WId" -> no Win/Mac - meego? And nobody knows about wayland input handling ;-) c) every application has to do it by itself, yesno? (otherwise you'd have to eventFilter() the application on QEvent::Show for QWidget::isWindow(), trigger the client side SNI slot, wait <some_time_tm> before removing the eventfilter, assuming that follow client maps are not caused by SNI... ... ... =P d) it should break with the plasma-netbook shell, yesno? (transient windows cannot go below their leader) Cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
