Eric, It's that and also the fact the the the complexity if the dialog increases since then it needs to observer removal of source, track active view, track active view changes. What I was playing with is trying to enable only interaction with the view and nothing else, which would overcome these issues -- but I didn't have much success with that, hence decided to commit a pure modal dialog for now. I am going to give that another try soon.
