--- Comment #13 from Kevin Suo <suokunlong at 126.com> ---
Caolán: Sorry, but I think we should do something to improve this. Dialogs
should be set "modal" only if there is a reason to freeze other windows (e.g.,
waiting for user input while we do not want the user to change the content in
other windows). If there is no such a reason, we should not set it as "modal".

At least I have found that using Glade, there is a option "modal" to the
dialog, and I have successfully set the "Format Cells" dialog as non-modal.
Will submit a patch on gerrit for this dialog then. For instance:

In sc/uiconfig/scalc/ui/formatcellsdialog.ui, if I change the following:
<property name="modal">True</property>

to 
<property name="modal">False</property>

then this dialog is movable again.
