Now, I checked the code and noticed a getTransientForHint being used to check for this. Is there a way to add the above to it? Did you have success? I'm having the same problem... each time firefox spawn a window it appears in a fixed workspace (which is not always the same that I'm using it), also most of them are dialogs, but they tend to tile themselvs which is umconfortable.
I started to rework the transients at one point with the above in mind, buit it caused very odd breakages. I never did get the chance to track down exactly what was going on, and at this point I can't do so :( My best luck with Firefox was to doFloat windows whose appName was "Toplevel" (a bit of laziness on the Firefox devs' part...) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
