I'm not sure I understand your elaborations. We have some dialogs (such as
prefs, aboutlyx, texinfo) that are supposed to be enabled if no buffer is
loaded, and it's perfectly sane to do this.
The problem here is that there could be no view on Mac (only a menu
bar). In this case the buffer independant dialogs cannot be shown
because the dialogs are attached to a view, which is wrong of course but
always had been like this. The solution is to remove this GuiView
dependency from the dialogs but this is a quite involved architectural
change.
