Hello Tim,
I am on Ubuntu 9.04 (run in VirtualBox from Windows 7) and your code
does not work for me. Maybe I miss some detail. This is what I have:
...
self.balloon = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_POPUP)
def configure_balloon(balloon, parent):
balloon.set_keep_above(False)
balloon.set_transient_for(parent)
balloon.set_destroy_with_parent(True)
self.balloon.connect_after('map', configure_balloon,
self[PropertyDialogView.top])
...
Do I mess something up by calling hide_all, show_all, move or resize
methods of self.balloon afterwards?
By the way, the code that I had before for declaring the popup window
was just:
self.balloon = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_POPUP)
balloon.set_transient_for(self[PropertyDialogView.top])
balloon.set_destroy_with_parent(True)
and it behaved just the same.
Do you have more ideas? I appreciate you help very much.
Thanks,
freddy
