[Glade-users] Re: Modal attributes

[Rick Duley]

Hi folks

I guess I was expecting too much.  I thought that the Modal setting would
enforce the Dialog to remain visible until closed (whereas, in fact, you can
hide it).  It _does_ mean that the User cannot do anything else within the
application until the Dialog is closed - so that's alright.

Cinsider the matter closed.

Thanks
