[Glade-users] Signal question.

That's strange, I just set the visibility to 'No', and it works (last time, the program crashed), but it 
doesn't fix the problem. The window is still stubornly overlapping the main window.

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?

Is this WM behaviour Glade-3 specific? I have used Glade 2 and switching the Visibility to "no" clearly stops 
the behaviour in question.
 I did not realize that "Type hint" is such an important attribute.
