That is the worst crap I've seen for years. It's incredible that
people really believe that a computer interface is better if it
aims the rudimentary ways of managing real life (e.g. writing with a
pen instead of being able to type with 10 fingers vs. 1 pen...)
If Apple or MS will release such bumpy 3d desktop, it is the
same as doing as root /dev/sda < /dev/random...
(Actually if they can't keep their desktop tidy in real life,
they won't being able to keep it tidy in the 3d desktop, neither
would they in an old-fashioned filesystem keep things well
organized - hey, people would even get bored to tidy up their
virtual desktop, because it makes life as hard as in reality)...
oh dear...

I'm excited. Have you checked with xwininfo if that window
really hasn't set the transient_for hint? (I hope so) ;)
