Summary:                    Palettes of 'Mathematica' always stick at all workspaces
Description: 
I'm Mathematica 5.0 of Wolfram Research on xfce 4.0.3.1. If I switch on any
of the palettes it provides, they are always sticky at all workspaces.
There is no "stick" button displayed in their window bar, and the stick
item in the window menu is disabled. This don't happen with other window
managers (I tried kde and fvwm2).

I don't think it's a bug in xfwm4. xfwm4 keeps transients along with their
parent window, so if the panels show on each desktop, that's probably
because MAthematica wrongly sets the transient property.

Try this:

>From a terminal, run "xprop" and click onto one of the panels.
That will give you a bunch of infos, one being  WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW):
followed bu a window id. 

Then do a xwininfo -id "0x????????" where "0x????????" is the window id as
returned by xprop.

Post all this (xprop and xwininfo results) to this bug report.

TIA
Olivier.

Lots of changes since 4.0.3, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps someone could
test if this still happens?
