Due to an oversight the Chat Box was not paying attention to the -topLevel
option (which can be et from the General Options dialog through "Top-level
dialogs"). I pushed a fix to the hgm.nubati.net repository where it now
does.

I wonder if it should not always be a top-level window, even with
-topLevel false. Especially when it will evolve into the primary ICS
console. In WinBoard the ICS console is a top-level window, and the x-term
is one too. In WinBoard the chat boxes are dialog children of the ICS
console, not of the board window.

The ICS Input Box is also always a dialog now, so it cannot be hidden
behind the board. But that is probably just as well, as it is very small,
(so you can easily fit it somewhere), and you would lose it very easily
amongst other windows.
