When the window gets shown, it will be modal (no other window in the app will accept input). If you are using the 2.0 version of pygtk, you can use the dialog.run() method, which "runs" the dialog, and returns the number of the button that got pressed. >2.

[pygtk] A few simple questions
1. I have a gui compile tool that presents a dialog box(do you want to rename temporary file?) that appears when each operation completes. Howdo I make this dialog box obtain complete control so that the user cannot continue use of the main window until the question in the dialog has been answered? 2. How do I obtain the current geometry settings (really just the top left corner) of the main window so that I can position the dialog box to overlay the main window? 3. Even though I use clist.freeze(), update the clist, clist.unthaw(), I get a lot of screen flickering. Any idea how to control this?
