Hmpf, The inset actually has no idea of the dialog, it probably should use
a signal with a this pointer to tell the dialog 'if you are working for
me, then you're screwed too, hide yourself'

I did, find no such thing, though I must confess I didn't read it cover to
cover (I couldn't really I read it online). Searching didn't help.
And anyway I do all this during my tests period so I invest only bits of
