But, AFAICT, that's the only reason behind the behavior for a lot of
Windows apps. Authors of X apps don't seem to suffer from such
delusions of grandeur (or maybe it's just too hard under under X).
My opinion is that people with valid reasons to use a system-modal
window don't need to ask how. IOW asking how to do it is pimae-facie
evidence that you should not be doing it.
