Re: profile editor dialog non modal?

It's a large editor, and should only belong in the editor area, not 
shoehorned into a modal window (actually don't know what a modal window 
is, if it isn't a dialog.. would be very hard to figure out what one 
needs to do to make it go away..)

So, back to the original question: what are the reasons for the profile 
editor dialog to be modal?
Thanks,
