Without seeing the code it's hard to know. It should be either because the
window is set as modal or set as a transient for the main application window
(or both).

Check the properties transient_for and modal on your window
(window_object.props.transient_for and window_object.props.modal should give
you your answer).

Thanks for letting me know about this. This bug would have been introduced
when the shopgui got plugin-ified (a version or so ago). The issue was with
"X"ing the window out -- closing using "Control-W" or File->Close was
working. I just fixed this issue in git (I've set up a git repository for
grm to test it out -- it seems enough faster to use than CVS that I'm pretty
sure I'll make the switch and phase out CVS).
