Yes, but then 1) The new modal dialog is a subdialog of the orignal one with the corresponding nesting of the main loops. You want to hide a modal dialog when it pops up a `child'? Maybe this was not considered to be sensible scenario by Gtk+ devs (or simply was not considered). To me it sounds a bit fishy. 2) The new modal dialog is not a subdialog of the original one. Then you got into a logical contradiction as each of the modal dialogs should block the other (visible or not).
