It's a dialog box, which means it's "modal". It behaves just like a
"save" box in another application.
The UI in 0.2 is setup to assume some amount of modality from the form
and changing it is non-trivial. In 0.3 I will be better able to make it
behave like an email client where you can have multiple form windows
open without making the rest of the UI wait on it.
