Description Søren Boll Overgaard 2006-10-13 08:02:22 UTC 
Hi,

A Debian user reported the following at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=392614 :

----8<----

Pan enforces a very strict window stacking order that treats most
windows as dialog boxes that float above the main window. This makes
it impossible to put those windows (e.g. the compose window, and the
preferences window) behind the main window in order to (for example)
grab some text to copy/paste into the message I'm composing.

----8<----

I never considered that before, but now that I see it mentioned, I tend to agree with the submitter.
