Bug Description

The force quit dialogs set themselves to modal, apparently across all such dialogs. The result is that you cannot interact with one force quit dialog until you've dismissed the one that was created after it.

To reproduce:
eog & sleep 5 && pkill -STOP eog
gedit & sleep 5 && pkill -STOP gedit
Click the close button in eog and wait for the "force quit" dialog to appear.
Click the close button in gedit and wait for the "force quit" dialog to also appear.
Try to interact with the "force quit" dialog above Image Viewer. Notice that you can only do so *after* you've dismissed the "force quit" dialog from Text Editor.

Got bit this behaviour on Saucy when the Terminal hung. With 8 windows with their own modal close dialogs, many of them covered by other windows, finding the dialog that would actually react to mouse clicks was rather confusing.
