Re: [ROOT] How to get a dialog window inside main gui frame on Linux?

Hi Anton,

  this is a window manager issue. In KDE or Gnome set in the window manager
config panel the window placement option to "random" (at least that is
what it is for KDE, Gnome has an equivalent option). In KDE open the
KDE Control Center/Windows/Properties.

Cheers, Fons.
