From: "Christopher D. Beland" <beland@MIT.EDU>
System name: Press-Your-Luck.mit.edu
Type and version: i686 (with mkserv) -> 9.0.14 layered
Display type: XFree86 3.3.6a SVGA
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: sawfish
-> Steps to reproduce and/or description of problem:
1. Run EXMH out of the SIPB locker
2. Select More... -> Delete folder. Note that the dialog box pops up
on top of the main exmh window.
3. Type in folder name, hit OK.
4. Select More... -> Delete folder.
The dialog box annoyingly pops up *under* the main exmh window. It
should pop up on top, like the first time.
This also happens with the New (folder) dialog. It doesn't happen
immediately if you make a new folder, then delete it. It also doesn't
happen with say, the Netscape Find dialog.
Sawfish's handling of dialog boxes was never the most reliable in the
world, which is why I suspect this might not be just an exmh problem.
-> Always reproducable?
Yes.
-> Relevant customizations?
Reproducable on a clean account without any ~/.sawfish or
EXMH dotfiles.
-B.
