Unfortunately it looks like this will never happen and the application developers will have to throw away their software, because apparently dialogs can be put anywhere on the screen. Something like a dialog asking for credentials to login to the DB that shows up in the top left corner, because some idiot user set it this way. Thank you. </blockquote></div>
