Hmm, you're right : if I delete runModalForWindow, everything works
properly.
But, without runModalForWindow, is there a way to block a function,
without blocking the rest of the app, until a sheet is closed ?

With the sheet down, the user cannot do anything else with _that_
document's window until the sheet is dismissed. S/he can merrily carry
on with other docs in the same app, or other apps tho. I don't know if
this is what you mean by "blocking a function", but it's the intended
use of a sheet. You're telling the user, "I'm sorry but we've reached a
point where nothing more can be done with this document until you
address this issue. Please feel free to do other things in the
meantime." This is discussed in the Aqua HI Guidelines (available at an
Apple developer web site near you).
