Dear Miguel,
 I'm trying your patch to prepare it for inclusion in svn. It seems fine and 
look quite nice, even if I think we will have still to work on the appearence. 
Main problem now is that on my Mac (Qt/Cocoa 4.7.0) your event loop does not 
prevent the widget to loose focus (the window is not quite modal). So for 
example you can return to the canvas, type or open a replace dialog inside a 
running replace dialog.

I was wondering if on your machine the widget is really modal or not?

According to the Qt docs you cannot have a non top level widget modal.

A possible solution (on the short term) would be to check if we loose focus and 
in the case dismiss the widget and quit the run loop. Other solution would be 
to prevent the focus to go away but I do not find any possibility for this in 
Qt.

Best
Massimiliano
