Hmm... could it be that the program refuses to accept window manager
assigned size and continually sends new requests? Bad, bad, bad. The
ICCCM has something to say about this. I can't quickly think of anything
else if it works with floatws.

Not currently, but once I add support for window stacking management,
it should be trivial to add a "keep on top" floatws layer and just set
the target for these dialogs to this workspace.

So just change the Ion key bindings?
