I personally think this is more a job for KWin to add a flag where a dialog 
can be 'embedded' in its parent, if you really want to do it right. If we 
really want to take the Mac OS X route here (yes, please! :) a whole lot of 
dialogs would do something similar and it would be far better to have decent 
window manager support in that case...
