Cool, a new keyhole type! 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.
