Comment 2 for bug 16755

Dude, as I said, it's not just gedit, it's lots of stuff. That's why I said it
was a metacity bug. Most often for me, it's the cookie dialog in firefox. I'll
open a website, it'll be slow to load, I'll alt-tab to something else, and when
I come back I have to use the mouse to close the cookie dialog that has popped
up. (I have cookies set to ask me every time.) Prefs dialog in gnome-terminal,
prefs dialog in rhythmbox, same thing. I think it's any window that's "transient
for" another window, but not modal. It's not a bug to have such a window in your
app, it's a bug in metacity not to be able to alt+tab to it. (I reported the bug
here because I haven't checked if it's fixed upstream.)
