Is there any way to get a Modal window that doesn't block input to it's parent siblings? I'm trying to get multiple top-level windows working correctly but hitting several problems:

1. All windows that are children of the same top-level window, when they use a modal window it blocks access to all the siblings. I don't want that. I know I could put an intermediate window in between, but that becomes cumbersome.

2. If I make them all without a parent, I can't find a way to get a list of all those windows.

3. I can't just stick them in a list, since I need to have them automatically removed when they are closed.

4. QWidget doesn't support a plain QObject as parent. This is quite unfortunate -- it crashes.


If any of the above problems can be solved I have a solution to my problem.
