I understand it is tied to its owner's active state, and it is exactly what I'm doing. The parent of the palette *is* the main window - it is visible and active.
The window tree is like that: main window | +--- palette 1 +--- palette 2 +--- some other frame When I close the other frame, the palettes disappear. They are *not* tied to the other frame.
