Modal widgets should be used only when strictly necessary.
Usually they are evil.

Let's imagine this:
1) your user starts a calculation;
the progress bar starts; it turns modal;

2) then she/he realizes that the whole thing takes 15min;
she/he wants to cancel the task. But the Cancel
button is blocked...

You are not going to be very popular...
