I agree that modal is a nuisance. Another problem with the help text window is that, on my system, it opens too narrow -- about 2/3rds the width of a shell or edit window. So many line are wrapped. Is this easy to fix and include with this patch, or does it need a new issue?

This patch fails to apply to 2.7 or 3.2: (t)hg messages are:
applying F:\Python\dev\help_nonmodal.diff
unable to find 'idlelib/textView.py' for patching
patching file idlelib/textView.py
6 out of 6 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file idlelib/textView.py.rej
abort: patch failed to apply
I redownloaded and tried again with same result.
