Issue with Dialog

On master, and when the initerrormessage window is displayed, if the user were to click on the underlying ApplicationWindow (this would be the white space outside of the dialog) the Dialog containing the initerrormessage will disappear. This leaves the user with no way to quit the application other than to quit from the terminal or quit from the window exit button (if there is one, depending on the window manager used).

This should not happen, and is a good first issue!

Design Considerations

Along the design side, how user friendly is it to only open up this small window? Instead what if we opened up the main window and made the dialog pop up as so:

init-error-proposal

This expresses more efficiently that "The application attempted to run, but ran into a fatal error, and here is the error"
