Maybe, it was just this:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2003-December/msg00065.html 
and
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101293
which I do not know the conclusion of.

That's enough, I just meant stuff that comes with gnome and more than 1

Which seems to indicate confusion still on this topic.  Unless all modal 
dialogs are doing
one and non-modal the other.

I don't know, but I know if you read the above links, survey the 
behavior of other programs in GNOME, and then
think if MonoDevelop should behave like them or differently you will 
find the answer.  I would prefer to use the default
of the toolkit myself.
