You are now asking for something different. In your original post you asked:

As has been explained, non-modal windows allow the user to also interact with other parts of the program without having to completely close the dialog that they are currently using. As an example, they can change the volume, start / stop playback etc. Previously, many dialogs were modal, and this often created troublesome / restricted workflow. There was reduced flexibility.

You can keep some subwindows open. That is exactly what non-modal is. If you want to see the main window without closing subwindows, why can't you just drag them to the edge of the screen? It doesn't seem to be that difficult. Please consider that you might have to adjust your workflow.
