win-api or gtk) are the same: The form (window widget) is taken of the 
screen

True.
But that one works for you: It does not return from the ShowModal call ;)

I am on my Side....

Besides: I have no problem if some one (from the developers) wants to 
make the call, and take responsibility for potentially breaking other apps.

I did want to:
- point out the risk
- point out that the documentation leaves room for interpretation.

I've done that. (actually the 2nd appears to be ongoing)
