what exactly is TYPE_DIALOG

[Lubos Lunak <l lunak suse cz>]

 Hello,

 maybe stupid question, but how exactly am I supposed to say if a window is 
TYPE_NORMAL or TYPE_DIALOG. One specific example why I'm asking are KDE's 
configuration modules run as standalone (e.g. right-click on titlebar and 
select 'Configure ...' - a window allowing the user to configure WM-related 
things appears, but it's handled by a separate process and doesn't prevent 
manipulating other windows). From user's point of view, it's clearly a 
dialog, it's even implemented using class QDialog which will set TYPE_DIALOG 
for it, but should it really be TYPE_DIALOG?
