Why don modal dialogs stay on top of other windows on Solaris 10 using CDE and DTWM?
The default setting of CDE is to allow modal dialogs to be hidden by other windows. To change this, you must: • Add the following line to your $HOME/.Xdefaults file: Dtwm*secondariesOnTop: True • Make sure that the “Allow primary windows on top” option is disabled in CDE. Under Style Manager>Windows, uncheck “Allow Primary windows on top” and click “Apply”. • Reload the .Xdefaults – xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults – and restart the window manager.
