What underlying technology do you think they used to implement the login window popup, I wonder? (Not!). You don't think it runs as a seperate thread, so that it's modal relative only to controlled entry "Authentication: XXXYYYZZ" URL's, do you? Moral: Answer the boxes in reverse order, do not delete the windows from whence the boxes derived, and get thee a window manager that stacks windows in creation order (you can get the same thing by opening an unresolvable URL and closing the window from which the "OK" dialog derives on Windows, only they pop up a debug dialog and complain about illegal operations). Then think about the evils of pthread_join... Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
