What I Did Today #5

...was finish the boring technical thing I was doing yesterday.

The Disorganizer/Mismanager Find dialog box is intended to work with the contents of whichever window you're working with -- grid, pad, co-editor, whatever. Alas, QDialogs appear to be somewhat...magnetized...to the window that first shows them. So you call up the Find dialog from the grid, then open an editor, and then want to search in the editor...only to discover that the moment you click on the Find dialog, the Grid pops up behind it, hiding the editor.

It took quite a while to diagnose that, but converting the Find dialog from a QDialog to a QMainWindow seems to cure the problem.
