The Viewcontroller does not work well with the dialog framework, because
the lifecycle methods are called on the popup view bean for the parent

Stefan,
I am not sure I quite get what you mean here.
My assumption, when you are using a popup, is that you'll be using client
side JavaScript to actually create the popup. Here's a snippet of code from
our "shale-test-dialog-basic" and "shale-test-dialog-scxml" test
applications that does it:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.open('menu.faces
','popup','height=600,width=400')"/>
Note that this does *not* send back a request for the calling view (the page
in which the JavaScript above was embedded), so there is no reason to invoke
any callback methods for it. This request will open a new window, and the
callbacks for the "menu.faces" page will be called as expected.
What part of this behavior is not working for you?
Craig
