Instead of using a separate dialog-box (even if it was integrated one, like sheets is MacOS), how about presenting the dialog-box as part of the "master window"? The windows could resize a bit, providing a space for the dialog-box between the titlebar and the toolbar (for example). It would not obscure the content at all, and once the user dismisses the dialog, the space is re-claimed for the app. Of course it would have to be made obvious to the user, so that he notices it. OR it could be at the bottom of the window. If you want an example of what I'm suggesting, think of a Konsole-window that is displayed inside Konqueror-window: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-apps/konqueror/commandline.html Instead of Konsole, imagine a dialog-box in it's place. This approach would mean that the contents of the window would still be visible, but the dialog would be explicitly tied to the content it's related to.
