but the taskbar and the start menu is still accessible
in case of a modal window...

Sorry, I'm very newbie in development of Ext applications. Next code (diff) is my little dirty hack that I use in my application based on desktop example:

+                }
             }
         },
         clickEvent:'mousedown',

This code forbids to be switched to other windows by a click in taskbar and does the text of heading of a modal window blinking. Also you need to add class x-window-header-text-masked, which contains "color:gray;".

Is there any nice solution for this task?
