Maybe as additional information: A good dialog editor is the SharpDevelop in a version 3.2.1 or 4.0.1.7090 (available here http://build.sharpdevelop.net/buildartefacts/) . Older versions of 4.0 have exceptions when editing dialogs.
In general SharpDevelop is able to edit a standalone dialog as they are in the folder src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib of the wix sources. Complete dialog sets (e.g. WixUI_Mondo.wxs) are not editable with the tool. In general and shortly described one approach to modify dialog sets is : Create a copy of a dialog set (from WiX sources) which corresponds best with your requirements, create a copy of the dialogs you want to modify, rename the copied dialog set (e.g. with prefix ModWiXUI_Mondo.wxs). Afterwards do the same renaming for all the dialogs you want to change and modify these copied ones. Then change the references within these dialogs and dialog sets to the new names and that should be all. Other ways are linked e.g. in the presentation http://www.slideshare.net/alekdavis/beginners-guide-to-windows sheet 52 +53. After some understanding of the underlying XML dialog structure from my point of view WiX has a much transparenter dialog modell as InstallShield where e.g. the whole button sequences are difficult to track. E.g. we have a ModLicenseAgreementDlg.wxs, ModExitDialog.wxs, ModFeaturesDlg.wxs and ModVerifyReadyDlg.wxs.
