Summary: Modal dialogs bug -> hangup

Initial Comment:
Sometimes it is possible, that dialogs are appearing at the same time, while the later is hiding the former, which is awaiting input. Because the hidden dialog cannot get any input and the hiding may not get any input (because the hidden dialog is modal), freecol is hanging :-(

Even ctrl-S brings up a (non-functional) file save dialog - behind all other dialogs.

This bug leads to a total crash, as I cannot save the game and cannot use anything to get further - I only can close it and restart, loosing all my data :-(

A workaround could be, to make at least the save dialog working, probably doing a message queue rollback (so all the messages could be viewed again after loading). An even better solution, IMHO, would be to make sure the glasspane forwards all events to the topmost visible dialog.

However: Freecol is great work, I can even open some corrupted files now (saved about two weeks ago) :-)

BTW: I'm using gentoo linux.
