You may like it or not, but this part was correct. What you did then was 
replacing poor code (using a modal panel where a non-modal panel should be 
used) by even worse code (you now also have a space leak). Since the problem is 
the close button of the panel you simply should have disabled the close box in 
the panel for now.
