Should be fixed now. It will prevent someone to close connection on a
database which has an open properties dialog on one of its object, to
drop an object whose properties dialog is already opened, and to refresh
an object whose properties dialog is already opened. And when someone
tries to open a properties dialog for an object that already has its
properties dialog opened, it won't display a new one, but raised upfront
the previous one.

Unfortunately, it's 1.16 material (which is expected to be released in a
year...).
