Comment(by garycmartin):

 Hmmm. Well we should really bite the bullet on this one way or another.
 The CP is not meant to block frame use, and didn't used to, this was a
 bug/regression introduced at some point (maybe even in the previous
 release). The use case was that the CP is modal to the Home views, and
 that you may need to access an activity (Help, Browse, an ebook etc) to
 read how to set something up correctly in the CP (e.g. the name of a
 collaboration server).

 If we can't easily fix the frame interaction issue, then yes it would be
 better to make the CP global modal, blocking all other UI, activity
 switching, frame access, home views, and require folks to close the CP
 before they can continue.
