[chandler-users] Annoying modality bug with "Purging..." and "Tip..." dialog

[William K. Volkman]

Hello,
	When I started Chandler 0.7.7 today it issued a grab for the mouse and
then wouldn't respond.  I had to login from another system to kill
chandler to be able to get back my system.  I let the "Tip of the Day"
display and it had popped up, then the "Purging Obsolete Data in nn
seconds" dialog popped up.  At which point I could not click on anything
to get the system to respond.  I watched and waited while it count down
the seconds and then purged the data.  After completing that it still
wouldn't let me click on anything.  Now application modal is bad enough
however it appears that it is using system modal because I couldn't even
get to any of my other windows.  I would recommend that you remove
modality from the "Tip..." dialog (if there is any) and make sure that
all dialogs that can come up are only application modal (if necessary)
and not system modal.

Thank you,
William.
