Comment(by homunq):

 Um... can someone remind me exactly why it is important for the control
 panel to be globally modal? If you're halfway through an unsaved global
 properties change, it hasn't happened yet - I don't see where that's more
 than a minor nuisance to any user.

 Specifically, on first-boot, you are prompted to go to the activities
 update panel - but you're not connected yet, so it is useless. Personally,
 I'd want the control panel to be much *less* modal, so you can see the
 network view and connect to an AP.

 My vote, for now, would be to make it a totally non-modal dialog, which
 nevertheless sits "in front" of the home view.
