Bug#366253: libgtk2.0-0: Windows created by gtk-apps don't have Transient property

[Emil Nowak]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.8.17-2
Severity: normal

Current GTK version does not set the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR hint for windows. By
default all dialog windows should have that.
I was even trying to use gtk_window_set_transient_for() in my own application, but
it doesn't seem to change anything. 

I have chcecked all gtk_windows using xprop tool from xbase-clients package. 
I have chekced on different window_managers (just in case one of them is messing here). 
I have chceck on session without window_manager (hardcore) :-P and Still the same.

All Qt3 apps have this property set, so I guess this is bug in libgtk.


You can check WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property like that:
~$ xprop |grep TRANSIENT
