I'm pretty sure I do, since the dialog is intended to edit a set of values and do something once all the values are changed, including refresh the parent window with data from the new values. I don't want multiple instances of this editor around either, so even if I don't use modality I'd be disabling the parent window anyway. I'm sure there's an aspect of strict "modality" I don't know, so why wouldn't I want modality? :D Here's a test case of what I'm doing.
