There is also an issue with how metacity window manager treats
windows. You can get around using [wm group .] This is added to Pd-
extended 0.42.5 and pd GUI rewrite.
I found out this thing here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514115
And committed it here: http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data?view=rev&revision=...

Is the openpanel popup window for choosing files default behaviour
to appear back from the window you are running your patch?This is because in Pd, all dialogue windows are declared as
"transient" windows of the main window.... Whereas in Dd, each dialogue window is declared as a "transient"
window of the window that had the focus at the moment of window
creation. This should be what you want it to be 99% of the time."Transient" window means a window can't go under a certain other.
This is supposed to be used for temporary windows that are
associated to another "non-temporary" window in particular. It
seemed to me like the consensus of the nineties was to ignore this
setting, and at one point the new generation of window managers
(which became default in linux distros) all supported the feature.Strange that in ubuntu-gnome with compiz working the default
behaviour is not that because the window is poping up in front of
all patches. That's the more desirable, but seems that's it is
dependent of desktop configs?There are differences in how the concept of "transience" is
interpreted. Logically, IMHO, if focussing on a transient window
shall raise that window, it shall also raise its "parent" window up
to just under itself (except for any other transient windows of that
parent, that have to stay on top of the parent anyway).Is there anyway to assure the openpanel window will popup in front
of the running patch window?Yes, look in desire.tk...
