We can pass whatever we want to python-meh in the Config object before registering it as the exception handler (the install() method). We could pass a GtkWindow and the lightbox this way, but which window? We never know when an exception appears and thus which window is shown by that time. And since our lightboxing code needs reference to the underlying window to work, I'm afraid this way is not usable. The only way that seems feasible to me is to have another exception handler in Anaconda that would display the lightbox, set the ordering of the windows (so that users wouldn't be able to click on the Anaconda window below [1]) and then run python-meh.
