The *right* thing would be to make all maemo dialogs and

This would allow users to adjust dialogs and notifications as they
prefer.
Yes, this is *right* thing for someone, something else is *right*
thing
for someone else. Persistency sounds good to me, however I don't see
much reason in moving modal dialogs on the screen except 'just for
fun'.
Moving's not a big deal. Resizing is a *big* deal. Many of your
dialogs are too small, or they obscure what we're operating on. At
any rate, the bigger problem is that existing dialogs are not
permitted to be movable or resizable even if it's helpful to the
developer.
Resizing dialogs assumes that they all have scrollable and resizable
content. Layout of the content has been carefully designed and will
very
likely 'break' when dialog is resized unless content is packed in a
scrollable widget. In fact you can try this with several desktop apps
and see how they break.
Correct me here, as I'm not in a spot right now where I can do a
test, but if I recall, dialogs can't be resized or moved. Why not
make this an option, and let the developer choose it or not? And
further, have the windows stay where the user put them?
