[Qt-interest] QDialog staying on top

[Sam Jaeschke]

Hi all,

I have a main application window, which has a button that launches a 
secondary QDialog. This dialog box was always on top, even when the main 
window was focused on. I didn't want this to be always on top, so I 
removed the main window pointer being passed as the parent to the 
QDialog constructor (now parentless). This fixed it in Windows, and the 
main application window can be brought in front of the secondary dialog 
box when the main window is in focus. However, it behaves differently in 
Linux - the main window always remains behind the secondary dialog box, 
even though it is parentless. How do I make the secondary QDialog not 
always be on top in Linux?
Using Qt 4.4.0.

Cheers,
Sam
