Well, I use Window Maker at both and it is only mildly annoying for me.

Done.

Yes, but LyX couldn't de-iconify them then or now. So when you iconify a
dialog and then try to use the accelerator keys to popup the dialog again
you get _nothing_ because we can't raise an iconified dialog.
I can't remember the other issues that Angus had made him want transients
but I left it as his call for when we switch from transients back to
lightly decorated.
