OK, I didn't understand the explanations at first (btw, {bottom = ...}
and {reg = ...} are not documented on
http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion-doc-3/ionconf/node7.html ).

I think I've got it now:


detach = {
   
}

function detach.topmost_transient(cwin, float)
   local reg = cwin
   while obj_typename(reg) ~= "WGroupCW" do
      reg = reg:manager()
   end
   ioncore.defer(function ()
                    local cwing = {}
                    if float then
                       cwing = cwin:geom()
                    end
                    local managed_list = {{ reg = cwin, bottom = true}}
                    local newparam = {type = 'WGroupCW', sizepolicy = 'free', switchto = true, managed = managed_list, geom = cwing}
                    local g = reg:manager():attach_new(newparam)
                    if float then
                       ioncore.detach(g, 'set')
                       g:goto()
                    end
                 end)
   return false
end
