Does this mean that if I want to close a dialog from the code, I have to wait
for the user to close the menu? This would be very awkward, because say the
user opens a menu, then decides to close the (windowed) application with the
close button. The user would expect the application to close, but it will
have to remain open until the menu gets discarded by the user...
I could always try to simulate a keypress to the ESC key, hoping it will
discard the menu, but this feels rather ugly, no ?
