  That would definitely help.

  Yes please.

  In the script code, you would typically do this:
var dd = Kst.getElementByName("KstPsdDialog");  // a reference to the data 
dialog
dd->show();
Click around in the dialog a bit -> crash.  The dialog expects to be called 
with show_I() so is in an inconsistent state.

  This is a systematic problem, not an isolated crash.  We need to make our 
interfaces safe and consistent.
