Background Info

- -

- According to one of - the lead KDE developers, they are not willing to follow the ICCCM standard - for utility windows. Apparently they are alone in this understanding, as - plugin windows on Ardour under Linux work out of the box on every other WM out there. -

- -

- Under KDE 4, there was a workaround in Ardour (Preferences - > Theme > All floating windows are dialogs) that would "trick" - KDE into forcing certain window types to be on top of their parent windows, - but this no longer works under KDE Plasma 5. -
