Nice!

There are other places that we should probably consider making this 
change as well. For example, the "could not launch" dialog. Reproducer - 
just hit cancel on the security prompt for Elluminate or something. At 
least with i3, that error dialog also appears to actually be a frame and 
is treated as a new application window. Likewise, the ITW splash screen 
does the same, although perhaps this one should be treated as an 
application window? Would you care to investigate those as well and roll 
it up into one patch since it's all probably the same thing over again? 
If not, then feel free to just push this one alone (with backport too 
probably) and the rest can just be fixed separately.

Thanks,
