  Log:
  The HIG's and/or GUI toolkit documentation for:
  
  	Mac OS X
  
  	GNOME
  
  	Qt
  
  	KDE
  
  	Windows
  
  all indicate that {message,alert} boxes are modal, at least for the
  window to which they apply.  (Presumably the idea is that not forcing
  the user to pay attention to the alert box, and allowing more than one
  alert box to be up for a given window, causes more problems than not
  letting the user do stuff to that window in order to figure out what the
  underlying problem is or figure out what to do to fix it - the message
  should be sufficient, in most if not all cases, to let you know what the
  problem is.)
  
  Make "simple_dialog()" unconditionally make the alert box modal, and get
  rid of ESD_TYPE_MODAL.  XXX - we need to make it possible to make an
  alert box modal for a given window, rather than just the top-level
  window.
