BUG: gtk_window_set_modal() behaviour is not correct in Matchbox

Hello,

I post this on the mailing list as the irc channel is almost empty and
because the bugzilla is down.

On GPE we discovered the following behaviour with the following versions
of matchbox components:

matchbox-0.9.1-r0/                   matchbox-desktop-0.9.1-r0/
matchbox-panel-manager-0.1-r0/       
matchbox-wm-0.9.5-r0/
matchbox-applet-inputmanager-0.6-r0/
matchbox-panel-0.9.2-r2/             
matchbox-themes-extra-0.3-r0/
matchbox-common-0.9.1-r0/
matchbox-panel-hacks-0.3-1-r2/       
matchbox-themes-gtk-1.0-r0/

When a window is set as a modal window the only part of the whole wm
that will react is the window that has been set modal. However this
behaviour should be limited to tha application that uses the modal
window. This is especially annoying with modal input boxes as the
onscreen keyboard is not access-able anymore. Example programs that
suffer from this are gpe-timesheet and gtk-dial to name a few.

Any pointers on how to fix this (or even better a fix) are welcome.

Thanks!

Philippe
