For modal dialogs, this is not an issue: as soon as the window is non-top,
you just don't allow anything.
Sorry, I meant *modal* dialogs-in-windows above. The issue is whether it
is too much effort to do modal dialogs rather than form_do() dialogs, and
I really cannot see the problem. Sure, if you want to provide more than
just form_do()+access to other applications, there is more to take into
account (ie. amodal dialogs).
