Well, it may be the case for the particular example but can't be generalised 
to modal boxes.
As they are used exactly for the purpose to be modal, and not let you mess 
with the rest of the interface untily you are done with that one.

Using some "tweak" that would remove modalness of dialogs could be used to 
crash most programs.
