"Modal" means "you can't do anything else." Users rely on this, and will not 
tolerate an application that makes an exception of itself.

Even if you could trick the system into giving you events the modal panel is 
supposed to block, you'd be getting the framework into a condition in which it 
is not expected to work.

I'm sure somebody has hacked it, and has neither crashed nor heard a user 
complaint. Yet.
