I have a feeling I read somewhere a year ago that you have to do more
than this; if an alert comes up in front of the dialog (or if it is a
modeless dialog?) your new rectangle will not be properly updated with
just the code shown above.  I couldn't find a tech note on the
subject, but someone from Apple described somewhere how to do this
right, maybe with a userItem.
