 Replying to [comment:2 vadz]:
 > FWIW I'm not sure if we want to support calling ShowModal() on the same
 dialog multiple times. This is hardly ever being tested and I wouldn't be
 surprised at all if it doesn't work with other dialogs/under the other
 ports too.

 of warning.

 I see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed, for example: show dlg -->
 problem --> offer dlg again. Also, the documentation doesn't say that
 calling this function twice is discouraged.

 In my case I have an application which pre-creates a set of dialogs on the
 heap, and then uses them as required. That works fine on wxMSW and wxMAC.

 (As an aside: great work on wxMAC - it's quite amazing to see my program
 working there, and looking great.)
