Okay, I turned this upside down and check for whether the FMain button 
form is active in the DBus event handler. In the button event handler I 
set a global flag "UserActive=True" before the popup opens and reset it 
after the popup is closed. In the DBus event handler I check if 
UserActive is true then wait 10 seconds. It seems to work but I'm not 
really happy, is there a better way?
