zenity and qiv

I wrote this little script to rename pictures using qiv:

#!/bin/bash
set -e

FILE="$1"
if [ ! -f "$FILE" ] ;then exit 1 ;fi

FILENAME=$(basename "$FILE")
DIRNAME=$(dirname "$FILE")/
EXT="${FILENAME##*.}"
FILENAME="${FILENAME%.*}"

NEWNAME="`zenity --entry --title='New name?' --entry-text="$FILENAME" 2>/dev/null`"
case "$NEWNAME" in
    /*) NEWNAME="$NEWNAME"."$EXT" ;;
    *) NEWNAME="$DIRNAME""$NEWNAME"."$EXT" ;;
esac

if [ -e "$NEWNAME" ] ;then
    echo 'Destination filename ('"$NEWNAME"') exists, abort.'
    exit 1
fi

mv -n "$FILE" "$NEWNAME"
echo "NEWNAME=$NEWNAME"

It works fine when qiv is in window mode. However, if I call it while qiv is fullscreen X become unresponsive. The zenity window appear, but I cannot write in it I cannot change windows with alt-tab or doing anything a part of going in the console and kill qiv/zenity.

Is there any workaround?
