[Seaside] lightbox and please wait dialog

[Sebastian Sastre]

One way is the one Boris described.
Other could be with some result feedback and a "continue" kind of button. 
Other is in DOM itself but requires a bit of javascript to make the modal react
closing to an observed #click event on an anchor or somethig. This last one is
the more appealing to watch because you can make the dialog to collapse
elegantly instead of just instantly disapearing.
I use both lasts aproaches. Its convenience is dictated by usability.
Cheers,

Sebastian Sastre
