Description Nick Edgar CLA 2004-03-25 11:37:20 EST 
In M9, we should revisit the interaction between the splash screen and the
workspace prompt, possibly using a progress monitor for the interval between the
workspace prompt and the workbench coming up.
See bug 55020 for background.

There have been a few requests for this one, so it should definately be done for 
3.0.  But it is too late to risk putting it into M9.
Comment 2 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2004-05-25 15:48:33 EDT 
Deferring.  If there are critical issues here that need to be addressed for 
3.0, please let me know.

I would like to see Bugzilla 69656 either unduplicated from this defect or this 
defect addressed in 3.0.1. The user experience is seriously affected by 
Workspace dialogue blocking access/view of other applications on the users desk 
top.
Comment 5 Andrew Eidsness CLA 2004-08-04 12:53:39 EDT 
I agree that this needs to be fixed, however, the normal use case is for clients 
to start launching eclipse, select a workspace, and proceed by clicking OK.  So 
the workspace selection dialog is not expected to be up for a very long period 
of time.  Since the user has just asked to launch eclipse, it doesn't seem like 
a major defect that a short-lived dialog (which is related to that launch 
procedure) be opened as always-on-top, especially since the splash screen is 
still up as well.

The fix for this problem is too significant to be included in a maintenance 
release.
