tentative patch to fix this modality issue (736 bytes, patch)

Description Kristian Rietveld 2002-06-10 20:30:12 UTC 
The about dialog doesn't work right if it's modal. The credits dialog won't
receive any events. The about dialog probably doesn't set the child (the
credits dialog) modal.
Comment 1 Christophe Fergeau 2002-08-02 10:57:49 UTC 
The following patch should fix that. Can you test it ? (I only
verified it was compiling)

Would this account for the tooltip not showing up also?
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2004-01-18 17:47:47 UTC 
Should this still go in? Both branches?

Christophe, could you update the patch please?
Comment 7 Kristof Vansant 2005-02-08 01:01:38 UTC 
since gtkAboutDialog is prefered can't this be closed?
Comment 8 Kjartan Maraas 2006-04-18 13:48:41 UTC 
Closing. Please reopen against gtk+ if the problem is still there with gtkabout
