inescapable modal dialog in trunk

I can reproduce this in Squeak-5.2 Linux-64b.

Surprisingly, After step 7, if I right click in the text pane, I get a
strange menu that begins "Create New Service". If I now dismiss this
menu and then click on desktop, I am able to get a menu and everything
works normally, including getting the proper right-click menu in the
original text pane.

Weird .. Subbu
