After building Grimlock from the head today and using the new JSF 2.1.3 jars with partial state saving set to 'true', the ice:panelPopup visibility that is toggled for our "retrieving" messages is not showing up.

The following javascript method is called, but is no longer resulting in the modal popup showing up in the browser:

var showPanelJSF = function() {
ice.log.debug(ice.log, 'showPanelJSF is called');
document.getElementById('basePopup').style.visibility = 'visible';
Ice.modal.start('basePopup', '/1Line/xmlhttp/blank');
// stop showing the panel if showProcessingMessage() is not called first
window.showPanel = noopShowPanel;

window.hidePanel = hidePanelJSF;
};

This worked with the ICEfaces-2.1.0.ALPHA-082511-bin release.

From the Williams poc, populate the tab with Screen 1 and then hit the 'retrieve' button. It should show a modal popup with a 'retrieving' message for a couple of seconds.
