Another way to get at the modal issue is based on how modal dialogs
behave with respect to mouse users. If a dialog is modal, then clicking
outside the dialog does not move focus nor is anything activated.
Frequently there is also a beep. However, if the dialog is not modal,
then clicking outside can move focus and/or activate the object clicked on.
What happens in the case of a dialog spawned from a combobox? Are mouse
clicks blocked if they occur outside the dialog? If so, it's a modal
dialog.
