So this is an xterm issue, and not ion? I guess I'll try to read through
some sources/perhaps contact Thomas Dickey...

It looks like they are marked as transients (see end of this message),
however the window id (0x31) is bogus?
As I mentioned in a previous mail, perhaps it's possible to ignore
the transient hint on the "pick filename" dialog so that it too comes
up as full screen box? it's not the ideal solution, but I'd settle
for it over the current behavior...
