If I understand properly your description... are you missing just the dialog or
the fact that the game doesn't start?

More than a dialog, the problem seems to be that Miniature doesn't understand
that someone has answered your new seek as registered user - or that it is
handling it manually when it should b automatically?

The desired scenario is:

1. Log in as registered user.
2. Launch a new seek.
3. A new game automatically starts when someone accepts it.

There seems to be some irregularities related with registered users and/or
rated games - no wonder since until now we have been testing mainly with
unregistered users and unrated games.

There are two different ways to start a game in FICS:

1. seek: This is a game offer available for all player online which are
matching the criteria the seek request containing.

2. match: A exact defined player is challenged. E.g. I could challange you,
Quim, if I know your username and we are connected to the server both at the
same time. 

More information about match:
http://www.freechess.org/Help/HelpFiles/match.html

This bug regards the second case (match). If you are connected to FICS as real
user you will get match offers from time to time.

IMHO this could be a feature for a post 0.4 version because it's no problem for
the player. (What the eye does not see, the heart does not grieve over.)

As written abov this is the second case. If I challange a player using the
match command this player has to accept or decline the challenge using the
command "accept" or "decline". As far as I know it is only possible to
challange an other player if (s)he is not playing a game in the same moment.

This works as expected. What does not work is challenging (this bug) and see
game offers while logged in as real user: Bug 12398

Yes it seems. I normally play as logged in user so I also was not aware of this
differences until I begun to use Miniature. :)

Ok, understood now. Taking this away from 0.4, then.

This is actually not only relevant in SeekGame. imgo it is even more relevant
when you finish a game and the opponent requests a rematch, which is a frequent
use case. Now Miniature can't accept those even if you want you, and this makes
you appear as a uncool player...

The strings:

"Challenge: GuestSSKF (----) GuestWKNX (----) unrated blitz 2 12." 
"You can "accept" or "decline", or propose different parameters." 

So we have several things:

1 - "Rematch" request to the same opponent after finishing a game.
2 - Accept rematch from opponent after finishing a game.
3 - Match someone in SeekGame.
4 - Accept a match request in SeekGame.

1 and 2 have the priority. We need to agree on the UI flow first.

The more I think about this one, the more I see the complexity:

- When you are in SeekGame the logical situation to request or receive a
request for a match is when a player with a pending adjourned game is around.
We would need to know when that happens and present it in the UI.

- When you are in OnlineGame the logical situation is to request or receive a
request with the opponent you just played with, but in some situations the
"Rematch" button doesn't make any sense e.g. opponent vanished, requested
adjourn, started a new game with someone else. We would need to show or not the
button based on these parameters.

I propose to leave this one until we have fixed the many other opened items. It
requires good discussion and planning.
