New issue 8727 by [email protected]: Linux dialogs are application-modal  
rather than window-modal
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8727

Right now dialog boxes are modal for the entire application rather than
just for the top level window to which they belong. This means that if you
have 2 chrome windows up, and a "save as" dialog open for one of them, you
can't use the other window.

This is not how Windows chrome works. In windows chrome actually runs the
dialogs in their own thread because Windows dialogs are blocking. We don't
have to run them in their own thread, luckily, but we do need to figure out
how to use GtkWindowGroups (which is a GTK 2.14+ API) or re-implement that
functionality for ourself, so that the focus grab doesn't affect all app
windows.
