Re: BUG: gtk_window_set_modal() behaviour is not correct in Matchbox

Hi;

I've commited an initial fix for this. Id really appreciate it if you
could test matchbox-window-manager from SVN and see if it works for
you. If for some reason you want the old bewhaviour that is causing
you issues run with wm '-use_super_modal yes'

Many thanks;
