Description Bastien Nocera 2006-10-02 18:10:35 UTC 
The Totem Browser Plugin doesn't have a GtkWindow as a parent, but a foreign GdkWindow (it's inside a GtkPlug).

It would be nice if gtk_show_about_dialog could have a GdkWindow be passed, instead of a GtkWindow.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2006-10-02 18:13:39 UTC 
(Another way to work around this for Totem would be for gtk_window_set_transient_for to automatically parent on the top-level window if the parent passed is a GtkPlug and not a top-level window).
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2006-10-03 15:56:55 UTC 
I believe there is a bug open for transient <-> xembed interaction already...
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2006-10-03 17:37:58 UTC 
There's bug 324876, which does talk about that, but at best we'd get interaction a set_transient() that accepts a GdkWindow.
