Comment 3 for bug 832301

Hi John.

"The correct fix for this issue is sheet style dialogues"

That is /a/ fix, but I can't imagine all applications using them immediately. I would also like the choice as to whether to use them or not as a system preference.

In the mean time it would be nice to solve this issue. Here are some use cases that just don't work _from the keyboard_:
* view or take a screenshot of the parent (also applies to mouse)
* minimise the parent (and dialog unless bug #830637 is solved)
* move the parent
* maximise, unmaximise and resize the parent

Please could you provide a link to where sheet-style dialogues and their related discussion are centred. I would like to request the ability to hide or 'roll-up' the sheet-style dialog and view what's underneath. If the window is clicked or receives keyboard input, the dialog should immediately unhide.

Thanks.
