Emulator should "pause" while any external menu is open #24

Something that was brought to my attention was the way VCC's menu system works. In Mess (and other emulators including XRoar), when a system menu is open, the emulation "pauses" and waits for you to exit the menu. In VCC, the emulation continues to run while any menu is open. I have found this to be both an advantage as well as a hinderance. Any thoughts on this? B.P.

Related to this is you can change focus from most/all open dialog boxes back to the main window.

My thought, It took me weeks to figure out how to run the emulation thread asynchronous from the user interface. This is by design and should not be changed.
