Old method of working:
In Firefox, I right click on a file and choose Save As. A dialog is
displayed with information in the title bar and I can move the dialog so
that I can see what is underneath it to help me set the file name. For
example, I might append version information or a date to the file name.
Old method of writing code:
The title bar in a dialog frequently contains useful information. Gnome
3 defaults to not showing the title bar for dialogs, so that information
is no longer available. Even though I usually set the title bar text
when I write code, it is no longer displayed / available.
I assume that this behavior is intentional...
Question: Can I configure the behavior to show me the title bar and to
not lock the dialog to the parent window so that moving the dialog also
moves the parent window?
Question: When I write a cross-platform application, should I simply
create a new text label to display the data that I usually display in
the title bar (at least for the dialogs that I create)?
