Version:            (using KDE 3.2.90 (3.3 alpha1, CVS >= 20040522), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

Hi,
It's easy to reproduce this in kmail : when you open a new composer window (new mail), then you are able to switch to the main window and it's possible to do whatever you want over there. However when you click send you will get a messagebox. Now, you are able to switch to the main window, but you can't do anything over there anymore.
I don't think this is desirable behaviour. I think the popup should only block the window where the popup is initiated.

Regards,
Edwin

I doubt that's a kwin problem. The fact is simply that these "popups" are application modal dialogs not windows modal.

This is no longer the case in kmail 1.10.1. Any modal dialogs that block the composer window do not block the main kmail window.
