GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 681618
display titlebar on modal dialogs
Last modified: 2012-08-17 00:45:42 UTC
Now that we don't use the sheet style modal dialogs but instead center them I think it might be worth considering adding the titlebar back. In many cases this helps identify the action required and affords an opportunity to move the windows (dialog+parent) - especially when the modal is larger than the parent.
A prerequisite to fixing this is to fix the modal dialogs in the wild we care about to: 1) set a window title 2) stop having a title in the content area of the window
