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.
