It might be confusing if the item is just disabled, since there is no
indication of why, which was the point of the popup, to explain what
just happened. It could ask if it's ok to popup e.g 50 dialogs or to
cancel. 

What do you think?

We need to add a function to the task dialog code like:

planner_task_dialog_new_with_tab (PlannerWindow        *window,
				  MrpTask              *task,
        			  PlannerTaskDialogTab  tab);

Where PlannerTaskDialogTab is an enum with the different tabs.

Wow, nice! You're certainly doing a great job! :)
