[Glade-users] Signal question.

[PEYMAN ASKARI]

It goes back to the previous issue of hiding a window, and then not being able to show it again.

Then unfortunately you can't do much about it as it is very likely
window manager dependent. You can cross your fingers and fiddle with
"Type hint" property or some other magic, smoke and mirrors, but your wm
may or may not honor it, since it is what it is called - only a hint.
And even if you seduce your wm, on some other system your program may
behave differently. I'm not aware of any trivial way to fight this
problem. Sorry. But why just do not close the dialog if it gets in the
way?
