Darnit.. I looked at that all day and didn't spot it. In the end I just 
commented it out because (if written correctly) it wouldn't do anything 
anyway. The problem with the dialog turned out to be a single checkbox in the 
ui file that had been set to ApplicationModal in Designer. Changing that 
fixes everything, except my weary eyeballs.

Thanks for the pointers!
