Re: Problem with window management and quodlibet (GNOME3 on Debian)

["W. Martin Borgert" <debacle debian org>]

Hi,

the problem is not only related to quodlibet,
Thunderbird/Icedove suffer from th same issue,
so I believe the problem is in GNOME3:

Open Thunderbird/Icedove and click on Help->About.
It opens in the upper center of the main application window.
Try to move the About box.
The underlying window moves with the About box!

While in this specific case, there are probably no negative
consequences, the same behaviour makes other programmes more
or less unusable.

Any ideas how to solve this?

TIA!
