Actually, this is not a show-stopper. Please see the following API doc.
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/platform-api-reference/xml/daily-docs/libqt4/qt.html#WindowModality-enum
Just set Qt::WindowModal to the dialogs instead of the default
Qt::ApplicationModal and this can be solved easily.
We can limit the scope of dialog modality in this way.
However, there are indeed other problems with the modules approach. So it's
probably not what we're going to do ATM.
