Re: [Gramps-devel] Bug: Can't bring some tools/reports windows to foreground

Kevin,

I switched to metacity (used to be running sawfish before) and=20
immediately saw what you described. The reason was that the=20
Tools/Reports used GtkDialog instead of GtkWindow. Under metacity it=20
meant that it is always on top. It might even be the right behavior --=20
I'm not entirely sure. Anyway it should be corrected in CVS now.
