Description Ross Burton 2004-06-21 09:42:00 UTC 
If window B is a transient child window of window A, minimising A correctly
hides B from the screen.  However, the _NET_WM_STATE is not updated, meaning
that window B still appears on the workspace applet pager.

Proof:

$ xprop -id 0x2c01592
...
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL, _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR
...
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "sound-juicer", "Sound-juicer"
WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Information"

This is the "Extract completed" dialog from Sound Juicer, when I've minimised
the main window.

This also shows up with any application's about dialog...or the xmms playlist.

Bug 105665 now contains a patch that fixes this issue (note that it only applies
to CVS HEAD because of the patch applied from bug 142198).

Fixed in HEAD with the patch in bug 105665.
