Re: [Java-gnome-developer] multiple windows

[Daniel G. <dan...@gm...>]

Thanks Andrew,

i think that i don't understand you or i not explain the problem
correctly, but i have same problem: i don't know how set the parent
window in the application. I don't know if is a property in a Window
object or i must set in each soon window who is his parent (i have
getParentWindow() method, but not setParentWindow()).

I suppose that this is a trivial thing, but after search a lot of time,
i not find the solution.

Thanks in advance!!
