I want create icon to launch opera.
I mean icon near "xfce menu" "pager", "hide all windows" and so on.

I choose "parameters", and this window become modal for all windows,
so I can not copy/paste path to prefered icon, and path to "opera" executable,

Currently we're using gtk_dialog_run() quite often for running dialogs. Unfortunately this makes the dialog modal and thus hard to access since it'll always stay on top.

Resolution would be using the "response" signal for the dialog.

Fixed in devel release. All dialogs use the response signal.
