We built into our framework so that all calls default to "synchronous". Obviously the calls are actual asynchronous, but we use the method Vin suggested, but it is built into our framework so it is all automatic, but still configurable per call if we wish. We didn't like the entire application go gray so we also simply changed the disabled style so that the app appearance didn't change at all and simply changed the cursor to spin until the call comes back.

I was thinking of thinking of throwing up a small modal window with a throbber to prevent the user from clicking anything. Am I thinking about this wrong? And is there a design pattern I should be using to handle this situation?
