Hi, I have enabled tear-off menus in an application, but when the user clicks on the tear-off item at the top of the menu, the resulting menu window is behind the parent. Is there some way of forcing the torn-off menu window to stay on top of the parent? Thanks -- [ signature omitted ]

Under Windows XP, the torn off menus do stay on top of the parent. I'm using Qt V 4.2.3. -- [ signature omitted ]

If you execute the attached code - does it work for you or same effect? The kernel has (almost) nothing to do with GUI effects. What version of X11 are you using? XFree or xorg? What does "X -version" output? What window-manager do you use? twm, fvwm, kwm, xfce, etc.pp.? What version of it? Does the same effect still occur if you (temporarily) use another window manager? Does it always happen? (Eg. very old versions of kwm showed this problem after they've run for several weeks.)

Hi Konrad,
Thanks for the help. The problem was the window manager. It occurs with
the metacity V 2.8.6 window manager. With kwin V 3.0, everything works
as I expected. I haven't tried other window managers.
