[GNC] Fwd: GnuCash window placement

[David Cousens]

David,

Adrien referred to the Gnome Tweaks tool earlier. If you have it installed
or it is by default with the gnome-desktop,  it has an option in the Windows
options to Attach Modal Dialogs to the parent Window. I don't know if this
is your problem. 

It has no effect in the Cinnamon desktop in Linux Mint after restarting the
desktop  and restarting GnuCash. The popup windows still move independently
and are not locked to the parent and either can be switched to the front
with Alt-Tab. 

This option isn't available in the Windows settings  in the Linux MInt
preferences. I am not familiar enough with the Linux MInt, Ubuntu, Gnome
differences and interoperability to know if the gnome tweaks tool works
properly in Linux Mint or not. I had installed it after someone suggested
using it for another adjustment some time ago . I can't rmember if it fixed
that either.

Appreciate the problem with cats and keyboards. Mine like to wander around
the keyboard as well. Also enjoy chasing the mouse pointer and moving
objects on the screen which is how one of my monitors has an inactive stripe
down one edge after falling on the floor when he leapt at an image of a bird
flying across the screen.
