Yes and no. It might be calling some modules that are shared with other
applications, and that themselves would create toplevel dialogs. Or it
also happens that some-level module of the application creates them, not
the higher-level part which is responsible for handling the key bindings
and macros.

I'll explore that solution. I guess it has a low impact on performance,
since gtk+ does that anyway ?
