Damn, that really puts things into perspective. Granted, attached modals presuppose there's a window to attach to. But I think that would probably be true 9 times out of 10.

Even if not, attaching to the menu bar (with some “chrome” that goes above the menu bar itself, which normal windows don't (can't?) do) would be superior to attaching to nothing.
