If you don't like using an unofficial function, I can pull out the relevant ~8 lines of code as a separate function in gitk. http://objectmix.com/tcl/390381-tile-dialog-boxes-not-transient-parent-under-windows.html http://wiki.tcl.tk/1254 Alexander -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
