I can't speak to any of the coding aspects of this question, but since
nobody had answered, I wanted to drop off my $.02.
1. Keeping track of the last view to have focus works the way you would
expect, and would of course be easily done across OS.
2. Does your method of implementing modeless dialogs reliable handle the
attempt to create multiple instances of the same dialog from different
views in an xp way?
3. Will your idea not create tasks in the Windows task manager or other
such OS oddities?
If so, I would say submit the patch, and see what people have to say.
