I think that was the intention, but /View (or maybe it's just VID?)
seems to have problems handling modal windows.
IMHO, it's best to avoid modal UI at all; when that is not
possible, you should "disable" (or close) the "parent" window while
showing the "child" (modal) one. A simple way to disable a window
is to put a tansparent face that covers it at the tail of its
pane. (I usually apply an effect such as GRAYSCALE to show to the
user that the window is disabled.)

Gabriele.
