Bug 126840 – [GTK] Make MiniBrowser windows non-transient by default

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Adrian Perez]

Instead of making new browser windows transient as soon as they are
created, do ir later when handling the "run-as-modal" signal. This
makes it easier to use the MiniBrowser to do tests involving multiple
windows, and will be useful as well when multi-web-process mode is
enabled for the GTK port.

I think we can simply make the browser windows independent to each other. If you open two windows, then close the parent, and run-as-modal is emitted on the child window, it will crash because the parent window has already been destroyed.

Good point, though I think it is more correct to connect to the "destroy"
signal of the parent window, and clear the pointer to it in the child
window. This way closing parent windows before run-as-modal is emitted
will not cause a crash, and the transient-for property is still set when
parent windows do exist.

I still think we could just make windows independent to each other, but if we really want to keep the parent window, I think it would be simpler to keep the pointer to the parent window in the BroserWindow struct and use g_object_add_weak_pointer to make sure the parent pointer is NULL when the parent is destroyed.

IMHO it is more correct to try to make the windows set the transient-for
when they are meant to be modal. Not that it will matter much for the
MiniBrowser, but provided that the fix is easy, I am making the change
you suggested to use  g_object_add_weak_pointer() and re-upload.

You forgot to remove this.

Certainly, good catch. I have already re-uploaded with this cleaned.
