RE: [g-a-devel]Top level windows

["Mukund" <mukund rajagopalan wipro com>]

Padraig,

Firstly, confirming if we are on the same page with regards to this
problem -

When I choose an option from the menu bar, the menu items under that
option get exposed as separate windows (role = frame) subsequently. That
is, once selected, the menu-items along with the menu gets reported as
frames even though they are not visible.

I am pasting the output for eog using my text tool -

I initially thought it was some problem with my tool but at-poke reports
the frame too (when it's not visible).

Is this what you are referring to ? If so, it would be desirable not to
exporting them as separate windows (frames).

Cheers,
Mukund.
