The only thing in this area that's tinkling is the constructor for each
dialog. Qt behaves differently depending on whether you pass NULL for
the dialog widget parent, or something else.
cgrepall DialogBase\( | grep ': ' | grep -v ui
shows that we're using NULL for all the dialogs, whereas the file dialog
is doing
51 : QFileDialog(toqstr(p), toqstr(filters.str(true)),
52 qApp->focusWidget() ? qApp->focusWidget()
: qApp->mainWidget(), toqstr(t), true),
It might be useful to try that trick with focusWidget() and see what
happens
