[Glade-users] Glade dialogs

[gregh object-craft com au (Greg Hamilton)]

set_transient_for() does ensure the dialog is over the window, but it's 
not positioned correctly (it should be centred over the window, instead 
it's usually just below the menu bar) and the window is not the parent 
window. Checking dialog.get_parent() returns None, ie. the dialog has 
no parent window.

When I construct a dialog manually in code one of the arguments to the 
function which creates the dialog is the parent window. There doesn't 
seem to be a way to set this using Glade.
