Thanks - I've reviewed both attachments and attachment 64869 looks better: with
a caveat (see below) - marking it as "commented on".

The precise Steps to Reproduce in the original report don't work for me as the
"Open" dialog is non-modal (this is with gedit 2.12.2 on Fedora Core 5).
However, I am able to reproduce the bug using the "Save As" dialog (which is
modal) - confirming this bug (as NEW)

There's one remaining problem with the patch: if Action.do fails due to
canReceiveEvents failing, you always get a sensitivity error.  The first
attachment had a different kind of exception for this case.  It also doesn't
then block the action from happening, since it's checking for
config.ensureSensitivity, rather than config.modalTrack

So I think this ought to get fixed before this is committed.  Your original
patch had a separate exception subclasses which I think is worth keeping.

I'm wondering what the best way of doing this cleanly is.  It might be worth
having the sensitivity and modal exception subclasses derive from a common base
class, raising this when the action is attempted, and catching it if config
allows - what do you think?
