What do you think about windows that are input requesting dialogs, but not
modal, as in: prevents other interactions while it is open? The commit
dialog of the Git Browser falls into this category. But even though the
Monticello save dialog will claim to be modal if its process is
interrupted, it isn't really since you can do other things while it is
open. So you could also answer with the Monticello save window in mind. Or
the Monticello merge tool, which does not have text input for a change.

Kind regards,
Jakob
