Hi,
For my tile editor, I've setup some GUI objects below the grid, such as 
entryfields for filename, level name, Save, Open, and Exit buttons.

Here's the scenario:
I'm creating/placing tiles, and I want to save my current work.  So, I move
over my GUI objects, type in the filename/levelname, and click Save.
When Save is clicked, the control is switched over back to the grid, so I can 
continue placing more tiles.  But, sometimes, I may just go over the GUI 
(accidentally), so the GUI will start working.  Before pressing any buttons, I 
move the mouse over the grid again, and the control is set back to the grid.

The problem is the do_dialog(), when called, expects something to occur, and the
the function is exited.  I don't want that.  I expect the program to allow editing, if 
the user is over the grid, but if the user goes in the GUI objects area, the 
do_dialogs() is called.

I hope you understand what I mean!

Bye!
