Description

I haven't found this one in the base...
Not a major issue, but I thought I should raise the concern.
I discovered that the Preference dialog isn't modal: I can switch back
focus to PDE, then open another preference dialog. You should at least
detect the first dialog isn't closed and prevent another instance, I think.
Same issue with other dialogs, although in some cases (Color dialog,
perhaps Create font) it might be called a feature...

I forgot to mention: Processing 0141, Windows XP Pro SP2.

yeah, modal dialogs mostly suck, and few of these operations require
sole-modality.. however we definitely don't want to be opening multiple
windows. will fix.

Fixed for the preferences window at least in revision 0144. Now it becomes
an issue of how this is handled for the tools.
