Yes I know. But the point of my email was to explain the background
and gave him a way to go around the problem if he wants to. The
problem here is a race condition: not a computer one, but a human one.
Essentially the user clicked on 2 things at nearly the same time (one
application that needed root and then another application that brought
up another window ) and that created the problem because of the order
the 2 windows they created were displayed.
Is this a design problem? yes probably.
