"Desired Solution:

- Sheet style dialogues will solve this issue when they land.
- In the meantime moving the parent window to a different workspace should also move the confirmation dialogue (and also vice versa)"

John: This should be optional. There is a use case for moving the dialog out of the way. I sometimes find that in order to answer the dialog, I need to look at something obscured by the dialog. Fixing bug #830637 would allow me to temporarily minimise the dialog.

Please could you provide a link relating to sheet-style dialogues.

"* Parent windows should be able to have focus, but when focused any click or keystroke will prompt it to transfer focus to the dialog."

I've split this bit to bug #832301.
