Description David Benjamin 2008-07-01 05:25:50 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

When the Properties dialog is opened (right-click icon, select Properties), most of Plasma is disabled (also graying it out in composited kwin, which looks kind of weird).

To be consistent Dolphin, and to avoid disabling much of the user's desktop, the dialog should probably be made non-modal.

This looks to be a bug in konqueror's properties dialog as dolphin's is not modal and folderview seems to be using konqueror's.

This should fix the bug with folderview and also make the properties dialog in
konqueror non-modal as well
