However, I'm not sure fallback to modal dialog is that good… let me explain: a GtkInfoBar is a kind of non-intrusive messaging to the user, where modal dialogs (or dialogs in general) is intrusive. This means one could easily "ignore" the info bar but not the dialog.
I assumed the editor widget would be frozen/set read-only until the info bar is processed by the user, so both seem intrusive.
OTOH the info bar would probably allow switching documents without doing anything which would solve a (for me) major annoyance with the modal dialog when ctrl-tabbing through docs. So not equally intrusive.
What solution can you suggest? I find the info bar superior and don't care about the fallback really.
Best regards.
