From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: When attempting to save a playlist and forget to select '.pls', '.m3u' and leave 'Determine file type' as 'By extension' and not add a '.pls' or '.m3u' extension xmms will just sit there and not save the file or prompt you that their is a problem. If you look in the gnome panel it tells you 'Unable to save playlist', but not on screen and the playlist save dialog stops responding to mouse clicks until you goto the gnome panel, right click and click close on 'Unable to save playlist'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmms-1.2.8-3.p How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start xmms and load up some songs 2. Right click in playlist window and then select 'Playlist -> Save list' 3. Leave on 'Determine file type' and enter filename 'my_playlist' and click on 'Ok' Actual Results: A 'Unable to save playlist' is given in the gnome panel, but not on screen and the playlist save dialog becomes unresponsive to any mouse clicks until you right click on the 'Unable to save playlist' and close it. Expected Results: I should be given the error dialog on screen/desktop stating that the playlist could not be saved. Additional info:
Oops my fault here. The actual problem is the 'Unable to save playlist' dilaog is getting trapped behind the 'Save playlist' window when the desktop is full. This is due to a bad call to 'gtk_window_set_transient_for()', where the args are the wrong way round. A patch to fix the problem and set the parent and child windows correctly and have the 'Unable to save playlist' dialog appear on top is attached.

Havard: does the patch look ok to you?
Yes, it has been applied to our cvs tree.
This should be fixed in 1.2.9-1.p.
