The whole purpose of a modal dialog is to allow you to suspend user 
input.  You don't have to use the dialog's window listener to start your 
next process, that was just to keep the example simple.

I think you ought to use a modal dialog for this unless you haven't 
completely described what you are trying to do (or I can't understand 
what you are up to :-).
