Summary:  MessageBox.Show() doesn't display modal dialog but modeless one.

Original Submission:  On Cygwin/WinXP, MessageBox.Show() doesn't show modal 
dialog but modeless one. So, I could get multiple message boxes by clicking the 
button(using attached test case).

When I closed the main form without closing message box(es), the application 
didn't terminate. (Only last message box was disappeard.)

Revisited this bug and reviewed all associated code.

Creating a messagebox with MessageBox.Show("foo"); will never get any form of 
modal flags set throughout the system as the Owner property of the object is 
never set.  This property not being set prohibits TopLevelWindow.cs 
TransientFor() method from setting the Xlib flag accordingly.

Creating a messagebox from a form with MessageBox.Show((IWin32Window)this, 
"foo"); will allow the Owner property to be set and the TransientFor() method 
to set the Xlib flag properly.

Bug #10717 is not related.

After tracing this all the way back to Xsharp/TopLevelWindow.cs (around line 
1047) I've found that everything that one would expect for modal operation of 
the form is as it should be.  The call to Xlib.XChangeProperty is fine per the 
man page.  Perhaps this is windowmanager dependant issue which xlib has no 
control over.
