Good point... it's the same in Opera, and there I like the "on-top"
behaviour.
I went ahead and checked out the settings for GNOME/UserInterface/Dialog
and they have these settings for "Dialog behaviour":
Dialog position: {Let WM decide | Centre of screen | At mouse}
Dialog hints: {Dialogs treated specially by WM |
Dialogs like other windows}
and also a checkbox for:
[x] "Place dialogs over application window when possible"
This for Gnome of course, but maybe someone using KDE could verify if
there are similar settings there. If there are, and this is a common
thing, then maybe LyX could "ask" Gnome or KDE what these settings are?
Of course, I have no idea how difficult that is.
Maybe it only works for Gnome applications?
On a sidenote, Sawfish, my window manager has this setting:
"Keep transient windows stacked above: {parents | all | none}
that controls this behaviour. It can also be controlled individually
for separate programs.
