It seems to be a similar logic as in StartWatching() - which even more 
works in diametrical opposition than what I had thought.
Although this one is IMO much clearer, I don't care that much, although 
I think that we should be careful with these things to not break 
compatibility between R1 and R2 too much - for the most stuff, a simple 
recompilation should be enough.

I think this should only happen if the floating window is in the subset 
of the modal window, not if they are in the same subset.
So I would regard this as a bug, yes. We just need to find an 
application that wouldn't work without it :)
