Summary0004173: a3 startup window "set_keep_above()"
DescriptionI would prefer that the startup screen does not always stay on top of other windows. There have been several occasions when after launching ardour, I will open nautilus to manage folders and have to move the startup window out of the way.

I realize that others may prefer the current setting, in which case, it's an easy modification to suit my personal preference.

+1 for the identical reasons: Ardour can take a while to load a large session, and my laptop screen gets eaten by the Ardour splash screen in the meantime. maybe an GSettings/GConf/config option, if not in Preferences?

keep-above should only apply to other windows from the same window class and client. what window managers are you using?

note that with SVN 11255, not only the splash screen, but the "wizard" dialogs, etc. also are always on top. not until the session is loaded is a window not blocking other app windows.
