Well, Rob, the code in question is to be found in frontends/xforms. You're
looking for the show method in both FormBase.C and FormBaseDeprecated.C where
you'll find:
fl_show_form(form(),
FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE, 0,
title_.c_str());
To obtain the windowing policy that you want, change that to
fl_show_form(form(),
FL_PLACE_MOUSE | FL_FREE_SIZE, FL_TRANSIENT,
title_.c_str());
If you want to get this into the repository, however, then you'd better
befine a lyxrc variable, perhaps
bool iconify_daughters_on_iconify
We'd also need a check button in the Preferences->Look & Feel->Interface tab.
