[Toss-devel] Modal Dialogs within GTK

[Peter C. <pm...@gm...>]

Hi,

the issue I want to bring up is that is seems that GTK does _only_ allow 

modal dialogs when the parent window can be exposed to the dialog creating 

instance which then can set it as an appropriate field within its created 

dialog. 

Anyway the problem arises as to that it would require for a lot of functions
to carry this

field (parent window pointer) as a parameter in order to pass it as an
instance that

might want to create such a (modal) dialog.

Therefore, we might want to _really_ consider the option of having the GUI
create

the TsControls  (which would be realized over an interface that the plugin
manager sets

appropriately once loading a plugin and which over this interface can
request controls 

from the GUI). 

Furthermore, such a redesign would lead to a cleaner cut and dependability
of the controls.

I demand a discussion! ;-)
