That's a bad idea, I think. You're making an assumption about NSApplication's implementation (I can think of several ways that this method might be dangerously non-thread-safe), and you're also creating a spin-loop that's going to chew up a lot of CPU while it's running.

I couldn't really follow your argument about why you have to do this. You're already not starting the background thread until the modal window pops up.
