By default, when a GNOME application pops up a dialog, it gets glued to 
(one of?) the application's window: the dialog sits in front of the 
Window, glued in place.  If you move the dialog, the window moves with it.

I'm not sure why this is considered useful behaviour.  Perhaps because if 
you misplace the dialog, you might not know that the application is 
waiting for a response (I've had that happen in Windows).  But it means 
that the dialog might hide something you need to see on the main window to 
fill in the dialog.

At least on Fedora, you can change this behaviour using "GNOME Tweeks".
Under Windows, set Attach Modal Dialogs to "off".

Does anyone else like this default?
