It should, however the IconBox is deprecated (we have individual
Launchers now), so I'd advise you to remove your IconBox and replace the
icons in it with Launchers. At some point I may create an automagical
migration dubris for those people still using IconBoxen.

This dialog (and a few others) are "modal" dialogs, that prevent
interaction with the main application window. Allowing users to interact
with applets that they're in the process of configuring could cause some
problems, so it's safer to make these dialogs modal. I'd make the main
Configurator dialog modal too, but there's a bug (it may be fixed now, I
can't find it in Bugzilla) in Gtk+ that breaks drag and drop inside
TreeView widgets in modal windows, which in turn breaks the applet
re-order window.

If we used GConf or something similar, it probably wouldn't be a
problem.

Working on this now, at the same time as Jason Brian's bugs.
