I came across another application that could be an interesting testbed; 
Skrooge. Despite the patches in this RR it opens a KDE style dialog. 
Additionally, it looses the whole (mac style) menubar, definitely, after 
opening a dialog but also after alt-tabbing to another application. This is 
probably unrelated but then again maybe not completely.
