Just commited few CVS changes (had a few spare hours :-))

- on ShowModal, do not grab focus. It is useless. and should not be used in LM_SHOWMODAL for these purposes - the modality is handled by a different function. Fixes some dialog crashes.
- little coding here and there, mostly optimizing.

Is anyone working on ShowMessage? If I don't completely sucumb to flu this weekend, I thought I'd give it a try and implemented it through GTK (GtkDialog).

Also I looked at Lazarus source, and found that there is TUnitList class, which is not actually a list, but rather a descriptor - I would suggest renaming to TUnit or TUnitDescriptor or TUnitDesc or whatever else so that it is less confusing.

Why not just use a TForm, TLabel and TButtons? They are already created and then it will be the same on all platforms and will require less conversion. Just a thought.

I had taken a stab at it via Application.ShowMessage (oer whatever) and I was having trouble at the time with the ShowModal command. I never got back to the function once I fixxed SHowModal but you can look at that for an idea on how I planned on doing it.

I set up a function that was used as the onclick right in the TApplication's source and simply set the modalresult based on the SENDER.

There are two options : either we can call lower level stuff, and maintain a common interface, or implement it ourselves, and risk more code bloat and maybe different lool'n'feel if lower level stuff changes.

The portability is not an issue, because all you do is to call Application.MessageBox.

Anyway, I did not implement anything, because I have a flu now, as feared. This sucks :-(
