Probably at one time, modal dialog boxes did not have a title bar and modal-
less dialo boxes did.  This is just a matter of style.  Modal dialog boxes
can have title bars (and most of them nowadays do) but they don't have to 
just like modaless dialiog boxes DON'T have to have a title bar (but they
do also).
