This is currently broken. The goal is to have a window behaviour similar 
to xmms,
but with less hacks (no gtk_window_set_transient_for() ). Also you must 
be using KDE/KWin
since it already works quite OK (except for the equalizer, and some 
minor rare quirks) with
Metacity.

Docking is currently also partially broken.

One of the release goals of 0.9.6 (former 1.0.0-pre6) is having this 
sanified and working again. Status, bug
and TODO page on the bmp website is upcoming.
