Is there a way to make it modal? (tweaking the MacProcID just makes a
mess of this window; but I've only tried a couple of non-zero IDs)

MacProcID=5 and frame=MetalWindow works for me.

It's not fully Modal as Quit is still enabled; If that matters.

Good point. But it can be disabled.
What else is necessary to consider a window as modal?

Disabling returning to the calling window (or perhaps any other window in your application) by clicking on it.

The whole idea behind a Modal Dialog window is that it requires the user to directly respond to an immediate situation such as quitting without saving or deleting a file or an item from a list permanently. Things that cannot be undone. Other circumstances might be forcing the user to make a selection from several mandatory options. It's a matter of usage in many matters but dismissing the window is always done in code as opposed to the user doing it directly.
