Description Owen Taylor 2009-08-19 16:41:13 UTC 
theme-installer.c has many, many examples of:

 - Create a dialog without a parent
 - Run it with gtk_dialog_run() so it is modal

Including not just error dialogs, but dialogs that get shown always, like the
'The theme "X" has been installed' dialog'

This is a quite bad, because it means that the user can have in their stacking order:

 - The appearance capplet (unresponsive)
 - an unrelated maximized window
 - The dialog that needs a response

And the app is apparently locked up.
