Re: profile editor dialog non modal?

On that point, I would just like to encourage everyone to not make 
dialogs modal unless it's _really_ necessary. There's a wide range of 
unsolvable bugs related to viewing help and modal dialogs at the same 
time, and IMHO netbeans already has too many needlessly modal dialogs.
