Maybe you should show some code fragments. It's not clear whether the "modal 
dialog" is itself intended to be a sheet, since 'runModalForWindow:' is going 
to make it app-modal anyway, not document-modal (isn't it?).

Is it a sheet on the sheet in the Save panel case? Perhaps the Save panel does 
some more complex child window thing -- I notice that the "replace" sheet 
doesn't have the same kind of shadow at the top as the "Save" sheet does, but I 
don't know if that's significant.
