Livine, thank you for your clear steps to reproduce. I investigated the issue
and I believe the behavior you noticed is the expected behavior for this kind of
modeless window. Making the "Insert Character" dependent on its opener is not
necessarily flexible for the user opening 2 instances of Composer.

There are similar situations in the navigator. Let's say I have a main window,
let's call it first_navigator_window. I can open the javascript console from
that first_navigator_window. Then I open a brand new window - let's call it
second_navigator_window. The javascritp console will get the errors+messages
when I surf from the second_navigator_window and from the
first_navigator_window. I can close both navigator window and the javascript
console will still remained opened.

Oops... I tested this again and if you try to close the "Insert Character" window with the close button (at the bottom of the window), then it will NOT close... but with the upper left window command system (the X, usually a white X inside a red button if default theme is used), then that "Insert Character window" is closable.

lenochod, can you verify this?

Tested with with seamonkey 1.1.14 French on windows 2000 French and Windows Vista French.

I add precision for the last step :
You can't close the Insert Character window WHEN CLICKING BUTTON CLOSE, but you can close with X.

1. Launch the Browser.
2. From the browser, launch the Composer.
3. From the Composer, launch another Composer.
4. Launch Insert/Characters and symbols...
5. The Insert/Characters window appears.
6. Close one of Composer windows.
7. Close the last composer window.
8. Close the browser.
9. The Insert character window is still active.
Actual Results:  
You can't close the Insert Character window WHEN CLICKING BUTTON CLOSE, but you can close with X.
