help wanted from Windows and Mac experts...

[Lubomir I. Ivanov]

btw, there is a small problem with the dialog box on windows.
after choosing a serial port, it takes some time between the user
pressing the "OK" button and an eventual error report.
on linux this time seems minimal, however on windows it is possible
for the user to click the [x] button while the second thread is
running, which will close the window, but it will enter a loop of this
kind:

(subsurface.exe:5056): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(null)' to `G
tkProgressBar'
(subsurface.exe:5056): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction: assertion
 `GTK_IS_PROGRESS_BAR (pbar)' failed
(subsurface.exe:5056): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(null)' to `G
tkProgressBar'
(subsurface.exe:5056): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_bar_set_text: assertion `GT
K_IS_PROGRESS_BAR (pbar)' failed
(subsurface.exe:5056): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(null)' to `G
tkProgressBar'
(subsurface.exe:5056): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction: assertion
 `GTK_IS_PROGRESS_BAR (pbar)' failed
(subsurface.exe:5056): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `(null)' to `G
tkProgressBar'
....

i'm assuming it tries to update the progress bar while the dialog is closed.
perhaps it would be best to disable the UI buttons in the dialog until
the error report is shown?
