I find it ok on the center, it's a lightbox after all and these things tend to
hang in the middle of pages... Indeed it would be nice to be able to work with
positioning hints ("around these pixels but somehow so that it fits") in the
Dialogs / Wizard API...

As we did with the DOM GWT API which we externalized in a distinct module, we
plan to do with the Dialogs & Wizard API (it's quite close to the top of the
list of things to externalize).
Great work!
Happy hacking,
