Here is the explanation from the code (placement.c): /* Select a desk to put the window on (in list of priority): * 1. Sticky Windows stay on the current desk. * 2. Windows specified with StartsOnDesk go where specified * 3. Put it on the desk it was on before the restart. * 4. Transients go on the same desk as their parents. * 5. Window groups stay together (if the KeepWindowGroupsOnDesk * style is used). */ Because of #4, dialog windows appear on the same desk as the transientfor window. I agree this can be confusing when you close the application and save dialogs pop up on random desks. An option controlling this would be in order, but I think it would not help a lot. Normally you do not want popups appear on the current desk when the application is somewhere else. I suggest you exploit either #1 or #2 from the list above.
