Make it a stay-on-top window, not a modal one. I personally get
very frustrated with aps that tend to display modal dialogs
BEHIND my current window, and they stops responding to anything until
I clear a modal dialog I can't even see. This can be a particular
problem for some "smart" window managers.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
