Cmon, you know what he means. The modal window hides. You think you're
hung. You reboot. Or you start messing around with the filesystem. Or
who knows, maybe install something.

This symptom's been around forever, but is often described as "frozen"
or "hung". I'd be shocked if anyone using Claws doesn't know it
intimately. We get frozen, then use Alt+Tab looking for the dialog box
requiring action. It's an inconvenience for us, but for the new Claws
user who really believes Claws froze, it could be a showstopper.
