problems with sheets

Title: problems with sheets
the app i'm currently working on has a single modal window (displayed via [NSApp runModalForWindow]). when the user selects the default button on this window, i display a sheet to get a password from the user. this sheet has 2 secure text entry fields and cancel button and a default ok button. when the user clicks the ok button, i validate the password fields. if they are not valid, i then display an error sheet (NSAlert beginSheetModalForWindow). this error sheet has only a single default ok button on it.

i realize that this may be counter to the guidelines in that it is a sheet on top of a sheet, but it seems to make sense to attempt to do it this way. however, it doesn't work. there seem to be 2 problems:
the default button for the enter password sheet stays "blue" even tho it has a sheet on top of it -- thus, the user can see 2 blue buttons: on the enter password sheet AND on the bad password sheet.

clicking anywhere in the bad password sheet, including inside the defalut ok button, beeps. but typing return (or enter) appropriately ends the bad password sheet.

are my problems most likely caused because cocoa just doesn't support nested sheets? or is it likely i have a bug somewhere else in my code?

thanx,
ken
