the two dialogs in question

There seems to be a race condition, when starting a post-mortem session. If the core file is not defined in the launch configuration, a dialog is created to ask the user to specify or browse for the core file. 

However another modal dialog sometimes is created on top of the core file selection dialog: "Progress Information - launching <launch name>". This second dialog is for the launch, and would disappear automatically when the launching is done. The user can't dismiss this one (pressing "cancel" does not dismiss it). While the dialog is present, it's not possible to interact with the core file selection dialog, and as long as no core file is selected, it's not possible to finish the launch - so deadlock.
