We call it an "activity" on my current project.  Basically, all "activities" 
are begun from a tabbed main menu called "The Launchpad", and when the user 
clicks on any one of the available "activities", they are taken through a 
few defined steps, some dynamic (forward pages based on product from the 
db), and some are wizard like.

The only problem I have with "wizard" is that it implies a serial
forwards-backwards flow.  I can see cases for dialogs :-) with
branches in them.  (It's the same reason I took standard "next" and
"previous" methods back out of the API ... the concept doesn't always
apply.
To me, the lifetime of the state information is the key distinguishing
feature to this gadget -- so if we don't like "dialog" then maybe some
name around that idea would be more appropriate.

What about "wizard?"  This is what we call our own custom solution
that we're using now.  Wizard generally implies a guided series of
steps where you can go forwards and backwards (at least to me it
does.)
