Description Christian Persch 2005-12-10 23:45:15 UTC 
Steps:

0) Load a web page which embeds a totem plugin
1) Right click, About

Result:
The about dialogue isn't parented to the window that contains the web page
containing the plugin; if you click somewhere on the page the about dialogue
disappears and you have to minimise all windows before you can find it again.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2005-12-23 02:56:23 UTC 
gtk_widget_get_parent_window() on the video widget fails. I'm not too sure how to get the parent window of the plugin from another process, even though it's embedded.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2005-12-23 09:43:23 UTC 
I think there's code in bonobo that does that, bonobo_control_set_transient_for.

This doesn't work, and I'm really wondering why.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2006-01-23 18:08:15 UTC 
It didn't work because I'm an idiot and forgot to remove the gtk_window_set_transient call below.

        * src/totem-mozilla-viewer.c: (totem_gtk_plug_get_toplevel),
        (on_about1_activate), (main): Add a totem_gtk_plug_get_toplevel ()
        function, and correctly set the about dialogue as a transient for the
        Mozilla toplevel window (Closes: #323759)
