We are setting the popup windows as transient just fine. You can test
it on KDE and compare to yast-qt. I attached a Python coded test case
that reflects that. The problem is with Metacity. It has a too short
time span on user interaction (or none), and doesn't keep transient
dialogs minimized when the main one is.
Re-directed the bug to YCP coders. If it is too much work, we can try
to work-around it. Anyway, even if less of a problem, popups are also an
annoyance for KDE users as well.
Cheers,
Ricardo
