Description Marcel Karras 2003-05-25 13:46:02 UTC 
I use gtkmm 2.2.1 and the attempt to "set_modal(false)" a Gtk::Dialog
doesn't show any effect. The dialog remains modal.
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2003-05-26 15:19:43 UTC 
Could you check this with a C example? Or at least tell us something
about your distro and window manager?
Comment 2 Murray Cumming 2003-05-28 13:56:15 UTC 
I'm sure there are examples in GTK+ that you could play with.
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2003-05-30 13:19:31 UTC 
Maybe you are using gtk_dialog_run(). The documentation for that says
"Also, during Gtk::Dialog::run() the dialog will be modal.". If you
don't want such a dialog to be modal then you probably need more
complex code than that.

Please reopen this bug if necessary.
