 If you use the identify tool and miss a feature, the "identify results"
 window disappears and a modal dialog 'no features at this position found'
 pops up. The user then has to go click the 'ok' on that before doing
 anything else.

 [ It's even more of an annoyance because the OK dialog always appears top-
 left of my screen - I suspect its not parented properly. There's a few
 dialogs do this ]

 Wouldn't it be better for the "identify results" window itself to show a
 message "No features found at this position". One less modal dialog is a
 good thing...
