GUI: Consider only allowing a single dialog to be displayed at once upon initial config creation

[elliott94]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When NVDA initially creates its configuration under a user account that has no existing configuration, depending on conditions it's possible to potentially have three separate dialogs appearing on screen in quick succession:

1. The initial Welcome dialog

2. The Update dialog

3. The Gather Usage Statistics prompt

For new users, the possibility of all these dialogs appearing at once has the potential to be overwhelming. Could we possibly consider changing this behaviour so that only a single dialog can appear on screen at once? Logically, it'd probably make sense for the Welcome dialog to initially be displayed, followed by the Usage Statistics prompt second, and finally the result of an update check (if an update is found).

Describe the solution you'd like

One of the issues I get is an add on update and a program update occur almost at the same time, and whichever one actions, the other one will not return, since you are restarting nvda. Sometimes though the add on one does attempt to come up at restart but nvda can fall over for some reason. Its a pity some kind of precedence could not be used here before confusing the user with two dialogues. Brian bglists@blueyonder.co.uk Sent via blueyonder.
