Because otherwise you need to take care that it won't pop up twice, so you
need a pointer somewhere and "bring to front" code in case the action
is activated twice. And worse problem: what if the guiFactory is updated
meanwhile, due to plugging/unplugging kparts? Then the open kedittoolbar
will have pointers to deleted actions... This is really a huge nest of worms,
for very little gain (why would you want to keep the dialog open while using
the app? it's not like configuring toolbars is something you do every 5 minutes).
Even "being able to see the changes in the app" is possible with the Apply
button, so there's really no reason why this dialog should not be modal.

Close to knotifydialog I guess.
