Hello, I have a desire.

When using Discover and clicking on that button to update all packages, an authentication password window shows up.

There's one problem: this window is not modal. So if I mis-click somewhere for error, that window goes behind and for a normal user it's same as lost.

It would be nice to make that window modal, so mis-clicking anywhere, that window should be always in the front.

Makes sense to me. It's not like you can do anything else with Discover while it's open anyway.

Anyway I've known people to get emotional about system-modal diaogs, but not really about app-modal ones. Discover only has one window and you can't really do anything else while it's waiting for your password anyway so I don't really see any way for a non-cranky person to legitimately complain about it. :)
