-Note that \module{EasyDialogs} does not currently use the notification
-manager. This means that displaying dialogs while the program is in
-the background will lead to unexpected results and possibly
-crashes. Also, all dialogs are modeless and hence expect to be at the
-top of the stacking order. This is true when the dialogs are created,
-but windows that pop-up later (like a console window) may also result
-in crashes.
