Dialog windows should be set transient for the main application window they were spawned from. This allows window managers to e.g. keep the dialog on top of the main window, or center the dialog over the main window. My understanding of the situation is that calling this function would prevent the URL menu from somehow appearing behind the main window, while stealing all its keyboard evenst. Untested; I stumbled across saw that function call in another piece of code, and remembered the FF problem. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
