...
   I can not think of one reason that would justify a system modal
   dialog (unless you are writing a real-time application).  ...

Nor me, but if you do want to enforce the Style Guide for system
modality I can't think of any other way than by grabbing.

Application modality could be simulated by using XmNsensitive. But I
think this is something the toolkit should really enforce. 

   I don't even like Mwm's exit dialog.

Are you sure?  :-)
