Float dialogs over their parent windows?
Is there a way to make floating dialogs appear centered over their "parent" window? Or failing that, just above the currently focused one? It's kind of jarring when you open a dialog and it shows up somewhere else on screen, or even in another workspace. Thanks Jeff

There are extensions which try to do this (see for example "transients" in XMonad.ManageHelpers), but xmonad's lack of proper float support means it's fragile at best. :( -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix/linux, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure http://sinenomine.net
