I agree that x11-ssh-askpass works best as a transient dialog. > In my opinion, a somewhat loose interpretation of the function of > WM_TRANSIENT_FOR is a much better solution than using OVERRIDE_REDIRECT, I think the ICCM is clear and we can't loosely interpret this section, but we can purposely violate it with the excuse that the ICCM working committee failed to imagine dialogs without parents.
