Description Tim Evans 2004-07-06 00:43:32 UTC 
1. Open the Windows Task Manager and switchto the Applications tab.
2. Start a GTK+ application.  Place the task manager and the application's
window so that you can see both at once.
3. Open a menu in the gtk application, and leave it open for a second.
4. Note that a new entry, for the popup menu, has appeared in the task manager.

This also happens for other GDK_WINDOW_TEMP type windows, such as those created
during drag and drop operations.

I will attach a patch that fixes this problem.

new version of the patch

Oops, I shouldn't have had that CS_DROPSHADOW bit in there
Comment 3 Tor Lillqvist 2004-07-31 21:16:28 UTC 
Are you sure the WS_EX_TOPMOST bit won't cause any ill effects? What problem 
does adding it fix?
Comment 4 Tim Evans 2004-08-01 23:24:59 UTC 
It probably shouldn't be in there.  I was thinking that it wouldn't hurt, and
might help keep menus above other windows.  As this isn't actually a problem, I
shouldn't have been trying to fix it.

Patch (except the WS_EX_TOPMOST bit) applied to HEAD and gtk-2-4.
