There was a similar problem in Konqueror at one point in time.. The problem 
there was that konqueror blocked on an external process that was about to 
show a dialog while konqueror had a popup-menu open. Konqueror had a 
keyboard/mousegrab due to the popup but since it was blocked on the external 
process it couldn't release it. The dialog of the other process could not be 
accessed because konqueror had the mouse/keyboard grab. Could this be a 
similar problem? If so, the solution would be to not block on the external 
process.

Your workaround only covers popups from kmail itself, right? Does the problem 
also happen if one of the main-menu entries is opened?

Cheers,
Waldo
