I selected "Multiplayer" from the menu,
and the display got frozen, i.e. the screen
did not change, mouse did not move,
simply unresponsive.

I guess the reason is a combination of events:
* when entering Multiplayer, ufo-ai uses TCP/IP
* Zonealarm pops up a dialog to ask for permission
* ufo-ai does not allow this popup to get visible

This is not a feature request. It's either a bug in ufoai or more likely a problem with Zonealarm (I believe it may completely freeze applications that do unknown network stuff or just grab the mouse-focus).

Letting other applications popup in front of ufoai just because they feel like it is a rather hard thing to do/check. Dunno if this will ever be fixed. I also think it will not happen when played in windowed mode.

i don't know what i should do with this report - afaik we can't do something against this... we won't lose the focus for every popup
