Yeah, this is because we don't have any way of marking a window as a "modal
dialog", so you won't get the center-attachment behavior. This is something we
should fix, I think.

We could say that windows are by default placed on the center of the parent.
This is a good enough strategy for me.

This could be done with subsurfaces.

xdg_popups allow positioning their window relative to a parent. If you take a
gdk grab when the popup comes up, then it should be handled automatically.

This should be implemented by a WM.

Basically, this is "should modal dialogs be attached to the window". Currently,
we don't have any way of marking a window as a modal dialog.
