<pre>Description:
When using modal dialogs, gtk+ will mskr the parent window insensitite and not
accept any user interaction.
So if the user iconify a modal dialog alone (which is possible in Wayland), the
application becomes unusable.
Moreover, since the dialogs do not show up in either the preview pane nor the
alt-tab list in gnome-shell, there is no way for the user to de-iconify the
dialog, so the applications is basically dead.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Select GNOME on Wayland session
2. set the minimize,maximize,close button layout:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
':minimize,maximize,close'
3. run gtk3-demo
$ gtk3-demo --run spin-button
4. Iconify the demo dialog window (ie "Spin Buttons") using the iconify button
on the title bar
5. Try to move, close, click the gtk3-demo window or even restore the spin
button window
Actual result:
There is no apparent way to restore the spin button dialog nor to do anything
in the gtk3-demo parent window, not even move it away. The gtk3-demo window
appears to be dead to the user...
Expected result:
either the parent window gets iconified along with the modal, or better, the
modal dialog should not have a iconify button at all.</pre>
