Hi all

The zenity man page says that "zenity tries to find the terminal window it was launched from, and stays on top of that. You can disable it by unsetting the WINDOWID variable."

I tried and this works fine for me:

eog -f background.jpg &
sleep1
# (to let eog find time to show the background image)

WINDOWID=
# yes: = and then nothing

zenity <something>

This makes zenity appear "on top" of the background image.

You may have other issues, but this works for me :D
