Re: [evolution-patches] Patch for #34354

[Harry Lu <Harry Lu Sun COM>]

The patch will make the dialog modal to all Evolution windows. (From gtk doc: Modal windows prevent interaction with other windows in the same application.)
Yes this might be a problem, but this is the current behavior of mail's advanced search dialog. 
So I think we need keep the same modality of the two dialogs. It is UI designer's call to decide whether make them both modal or non-modal.

Part of the patch is irrelevant to the fix and just makes whitespace
changes. Does the change make the dialog modal to all Evolution windows,
or only the one that it was opened from? It certainly would make sense
to allow other Evolution windows to switch between components and
folders I think. If the changes doesn't block other windows, I think it
is OK to put in HEAD, and possibly even the branch. It's a minor bug
fix, and not a major UI change that would break documentation. I am ok
with it only going in HEAD as well.
    

Hmm, now that you say this, the modality could be a problem - we already
have other bugs where modality is screwing up stuff.
