Well, is does show properly. The difference is in positioning (as 
expected). Without a parent, the frameless dialog is positioned 
somewhere on the screen by the WM, in the other case, it is positioned 
relative to the main window. For some reason, the WM overlays the main 
window with the dialog then, but the concrete behavior of this rather 
esoteric window flag is highly WM dependent anyway.
