Yes, I see, the dialog isn't modal and so it allows the 'X' which is
effectively the same as cancelling. The solution has two parts then: 1) make
the pop-up modal so the user can't mess with the app's main window while
answering the question, and 2) make sure clicking 'cancel' or 'X' while in the
middle of installing anyway close down gracefully. Part 1 I've already
figured out.
