Have a question regarding the Plasma::PopupApplet behavior after it displays a modal dialog. In the current implementation, when a modal dialog is opened from the Popup applet, the applet automatically gets hidden in the background while the modal dialog is still open. I was thinking the behavior should be that the Popup applet should always remain visible if a child modal dialog is displayed. Is this a reasonable default behavior or is it not advisable to display modal dialogs from popup-applets?
My scenario: I have a Popup applet, docked to the panel, that displays a dialog containing an "Add Folder" button. When the user clicks the "Add Folder" button, a modal KDirSelectDialog is displayed allowing the user to select a folder that would be later displayed in the Popup applet; however the pop-up applet gets hidden in the background. After the user adds a folder, they have to reopen the Popup applet to verify the folder got added. I'm currently working around this by manually calling PopupApplet::show() after opening the KDirSelectDialog but it feels kind of hackish so I thought I'd get some opinions.
