Hello again,
For anyone interested, I solved it by not using modal windows at all.
Instead I set a flag in the main window when showing the "act as modal"
windows, skipping event handling in the main window.
Looks like I have the exact behaviour I want now, and I haven't found
any unwanted side effects so far.
/D
