Description Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-08-29 14:38:13 UTC 
If I have a transient window open, e.g. the Galeon preferences dialog that is
parented onto another window, and doesn't appear in the task list, then there
appears to be no way to Alt+Tab back to it if I switch away.

- Start a program (galeon, gedit or epiphany work well here)
- Open its preferences dialog
- Now Alt+Tab to another window, e.g. a terminal
- Try alt+tabbing back to the prefs dialog.

I can't seem to find anyway of getting back to close the prefs dialog without
resorting to the mouse.
