After reading all of the other responses, I have an angle to add. As a user,
I consider sheets/modal dialogs to be "outside the box" of the process going
on in the window or with the window: saving, closing, editing, pressing a
button, dragging and dropping etc. In your case, I'd think that
authentication would be internal to the window's operation, not external as
a modal dialog suggests -- kind of just step 1 in the process of whatever
the window is doing. Why not do a form or something in the window itself?
Then the sheet issue wouldn't even come up. Yeah they're cool, but they are
annoying, too, in a way, because they represent administrative stuff that's
necessary because the computer is too stupid to read my mind like it should.

I've got a single window application that connects to a remote server.

When the application loads, I slide out a sheet on my main window asking

Unfortunately the sheet "automatically" disables my window's close

Is there a simple solution to either of these problems?
