You can set X11 window managers to pop the window to front where the 
mouse is over - no clicking needed. Perhaps the intention was to have 
the modal dialog in front all time, regardless of the mouse position.

How about making sure the modal window is just in front of the 
corrsponding document window? I've seen X11 apps behaving this way and 
it's obviously supported by the window manager protocol, but no idea 
how it is actually done :-}

Doing some code review/cleanup is always a good idea :-)
