If two or more customize dialogs open, then they must close LIFO

This is easier to do on machines with multiple monitors. But it's possible to open multiple applications (Writer and Calc, for instance), and then open tools- >customize on both apps. If they are on two monitors or even on the same monitor with the applications window side by side, you realize that you can't close the first customize dialog until the second customize dialog is closed. When the first customize dialog is opened, the other application is available. But if the other application also has a modal dialog opened, then it is no longer available. It's a strange modal effect. If both applications have the customize dialogs opened, then they must be closed in the reverse order of the way they were opened. This is reproduced on Mac OS X 10.6.3 and on Windows XP SP 3. For the Mac, you can use the "Spaces" feature to put the two applications on two different spaces. This will make it easier to reproduce the problem on a small screen. On a bigger screen, you can put the two applications side by side.
