Modal like window?

Hi all,

I have an application which communicates with USB devices. When a device is
inserted a window is displayed allowing the user to enter a passphrase to
unlock the device.

The problem I have is that when this window is displayed (using [NSApp
runModalForWindow:(NSWindow*)theWindow]) I don't get the background
notifications of device arrival/removal.

My guess is that because the USB notifications use the RunLoop and the
window is running modally the runloop is not processing messages.

Anyone any ideas how I can get around this problem?

I plan to add an AppleScript interface to my app so I need the 'login'
window to run modal if device activation is required and a script function
is being called.
