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.
Didn't though it'd freeze the editor (and AFAIK Matthew's code didn't do that), but that's not a bad idea and would somewhat solve the issue I'm raising, since both would then basically avoid touching the file until answering.
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.
Basically none apart depending on 2.18, but your freeze proposal might be OK.
