Doesn't completely help. This will indeed prevent the pointer from being warped to the default button; it will not, however, prevent the dialog box from getting focus in the first place. I believe Bertrand is seeking a way to do the latter. Personally, I'd be happy if the dialog got focus as long as the keyboard accelerators were disabled until I took some hard-to-twitch action. I have the same trouble Bertrand does; I'm merrily typing along in some window and one of these dialogs pop up. My keystrokes go into the new dialog, performing who knows what horrifying actions, and I hit the return key before I even noticed keystrokes went awry.
