Hi,
I have recently installed inkscape on my Mac through Fink, and I have the following problem: the dialogs appear in front of all the other (X11) windows created by Inkscape, including tool tips and pop-up menus.
This means that when I open the preferences dialog (for example), the tool-tips for the dialog's buttons appear *behind* the dialog itself, and the same goes for pop-up menus! This makes inkscape pretty hard to use, to say the least :-).
I found out that I'm able to cycle through the various values of a pop-up menu using the mouse wheel, and therefore tried to change the value for "dialogs on top" (or something like this) from "None" to "Normal" and then "Aggressive", but this didn't solve my problem. I also tried to disable the "focus follows mouse" policy of my window manager (Apple's WM), without success either.
Is there any Mac user out there with the same problem? Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it?
(I must say that I have several other X11 applications on my Mac [OpenOffice, Gimp, XEphem and Scribus], and they don't have this problem).
Apart from that, thanks to all the developers for the wonderful work on Inkscape!
Michel.
