Re: problems with not waiting for a popup dialog to close...

[Jeff "W." <jeff dark-techno org>]

well the problem I have with that is this dialog box is inside of a
while loop (if you really need to know why you can ask, but I'll save
time by not saying), and I can't just put half the while loop in the
destroy even callback.  Also, the dialog box is used in another place as
well.  I suppose I could have 2 copies of the same dialog box but this
whole thing seems like an unnecessary pain in the butt.  There's no
command to just simply say: "Display this box and wait till it
returns"??  Any other ideas?
