Subject	[platform-swt-dev] MessageBox blocks display thread on linux

A call to MessageBox.open() behaves different on Linux
and Windows.
On Linux the display thread is completely blocked and no asycnExec -events
are handled. So the parent shell of the MessageBox is not updated.

On Windows the parent shell can be updated while the MessageBox.open()
call.

I think this is the expected behaviour. The modal MessageBox should only
block user events, but should not block the whole display thread.


Is there a workaround on Linux-GTK for this ?
