Description Rob Staudinger 2006-02-07 19:40:53 UTC 
Currently the theme-manager's main window can cover the "theme details" window. That should not be possible because one might accidently bring the main window to front and cover the details.

Reassigning to dobey, as discussed on IRC.
Dobey, ok to commit?
Comment 3 Thomas Wood 2006-04-09 21:46:13 UTC 
Looks fine to me, although I guess the dialog variable in gnome_theme_details_show () is no longer needed.
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2006-04-10 10:16:38 UTC 
The dialogs can be used in the same time, any reason to force that stack order?
Comment 5 Thomas Wood 2006-04-10 12:31:19 UTC 
I think the question is, why would you want to use both that the same time? From a usability point of view, I think it would be clearer if you could only use one at a time, to distinguish between the advanced and simple interfaces. Having two windows open at the same time to do the same thing just adds redundancy into the interface.

As a related aside, it's also possible to open the theme capplet multiple times. For the same reason as above, I don't think this is a very good idea. Just because it does work, doesn't mean it isn't confusing or illogical for the user!
Comment 6 Thomas Wood 2006-12-01 13:08:05 UTC 
Looks like the changes to the type hint of the main window may have fixed this?
Comment 7 Thomas Wood 2007-01-06 19:09:40 UTC 
Closing as per my last comment.
