i found that currently this type is NOT used in cupcake imf. only
TYPE_INPUT_METHOD.

in WindowManager.java,
        /**
         * Window type: internal input methods dialog windows, which
appear above
         * the current input method window.
         */
        public static final int TYPE_INPUT_METHOD_DIALOG=
FIRST_SYSTEM_WINDOW+12;

can you tell me the details use case of TYPE_INPUT_METHOD_DIALOG?

thanks
