Showing the status bar and/or the address bar was a valid solution some years ago. Today, with Javascript pop-ups, ubiquity of flash applets and rise of integrated web+desktop frameworks like Air, the game has changed a little bit. In fact, a lot of javascript libraries have a resource to dim the page before showing a popup, exactly like gksudo does. Join this with the fact that new browsers like Chrome give as little space as possible for the status bars, and I believe there's real reason for concern. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
