Bug Description

After doing some changes to my partitions, the espresso window just freezes and there are no more 'Forward'/'Back' buttons. After a while I finally discovered that there was a dialog hidden behind espresso which asked for confirmation of the changes; the dialog window did not appear in the task bar and in the Alt+Tab window cycle list, so it is very hard to discover it. However, it should be in the foreground in the first place.

  * debian/patches/010-transience-for-plugs.patch:
    Attempt to walk up the X window stack to find top-level parents for
    transient dialogs.
    This corrects a problem where dialog boxes for embedded apps, such as
    gparted in espresso, would pop-under their confirmation dialogs.
