Because modal windows are dialog windows, and it's a common practice to always 
center them on screen.

Yes, it is not clearly explained on the wiki: native events, i.e. events 
defined in the Control class (MouseUp, MouseDown, MouseMove, KeyPress, 
KeyRelease, Enter, Leave...) are always raised, whatever the value of the 
Enabled property.
