This sounds like a KWin bug/misbehavior to me. It doesn't happen here, 
so I guess it was fixed in KWin.

However the cause for this problem is a missing parent widget in the dialog,
which I just fixed for the "page layout" dialog. Any other dialog showing the same \
problem?

That was another missing parent widget - fixed as well.

However I'm sure KWin was improved to handle such cases better, since it
all works fine here. I suggest a kdelibs/kdebase upgrade...
