As I understand it:
I invoke a https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.2...lorButton.html GtkColorButton
clicking this creates for me a GtkColorSelection dialog
Which automatically sets the gtk_window_set_transient_for () as the parent that invoked the dialog.
this works great when there is only ONE window in the mix.
But...
invoke two windows:
one from the other... then put the button on the second page... and the gtk_window_set_transient_for () will always put the dialog BEHIND the second window...
test.c
press the button? nothing appears.
(well it does but on the wrong layer)
swap
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window2), button);
for
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), button);
and elide
gtk_widget_show (window2);
like
// gtk_widget_show (window2);
and it all works as expected...
so... am I going to have to derive a widget from GtkColorSelection ???
or is this as a result of using the awesome layers????
Any clues?
I was trying to port "osmo" but this has me stumped.
and short of rewriting the entire "PREFERENCES" gtknotebook layout... I am out of ideas.
Hence the simple to test "THIS DONT WORK" example I have made here...
