I found a solution.

Short demo (340k): http://www.bibiko.de/TM_D2_PANELSHEET.mov

This leads to a related question. Should we try to add the possibility  
to show up each modal dialog as a sheet?
I tried it out and in principal it works, if the nib doesn't have a  
autosave name. But I do not know what kind of consequences could  
occur. Any comments?
