I get this to work using a BulletinBoard as the child of a DialogShell,
and setting the dialogStyle attribute DIALOG_APPLICATION_MODAL.  Works

Has anyone else used this?  I want to change this dynamically after the
window has been displayed, so that I can pop up a new modal window and
give it focus, while leaving the first on on the screen.
