[E-devel] transient for the root window

[Peter W. <pet...@we...>]

Hi,

currently e17 ignores the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property, if the property is 
set to the root window or to none. The EWMH proposes to treat the 
application window as a transient for all other windows in the same 
group. I'm not quit sure what that does mean, but I've tested it in 
other WMs. xfce places the window in the middle of the screen (as I've 
actually expected it). Metacity places the window only centered, if the 
window is also a dialog.
So my question is, is this just a yet not implemented feature or are 
there reasons to ignore it? Personally, I'd like to see e17 to place the 
window in the middle of the screen.
