Jim, Thank you.
Can you please help me what happens if I use 'gtk_set_transient_for to mark it "modal to only one window"' under the hood. Normally (as far as what I know), there is 1 gtk main thread listen for all ui events (mouse click, resize etc). And when a moral dialog is poped up, that main ui tread is blocked until user clicks OK or Cancel (hence the window is frozen). But for the case of 'gtk_set_transient_for ', how will that work? how can 1 window is interactive when the Main UI thread is blocked by a moral dialog in the 2nd window? (like the case in Firefox). Thank you again.
