[Bug 2070150] Re: Cannot move a window of a pop-up with error message

[Sebastien Bacher]

I'm not convinced that the change is a win.

If the dialog isn't transient then you might end up in a situation where
the error dialog doesn't get focus/get placed somewhere else. The main
interface would then be blocked without explanation of why.

It is inconvenient that the error dialog could prevent you to see the
log behind but in practice most users will not display that section, and
even if they do the log is available on disk and it's easy to go check
it there.

  Cannot move a window of a pop-up with error message

Bug description:
  1. Currently lsb_release -rd show me Description:       Ubuntu 24.04
  LTS, but it seems I don't completely update from the 23.x version

  2. apt-cache policy update-manager
  update-manager:
    Installed: 1:24.04.6
    Candidate: 1:24.04.6

  3. I upgraded the Linux from 23.x to 24.10. During the installation, a failure happened, and was appeared a pop-up with a message "Could not install the upgrades" . When I tried to move this pop-up apart (not to close, because if I close the pop-up, the entire window is going to close), the "Distribution Upgrade" entire window moved instead of the pop-up only (what I expected to happen).
  How does it look:

  P.S. For something reason, there is no mouse pointer on the video, so it's not clear I did move the pop-up, not entire window
