Metacity explicitly disables maximize, minimize and fullscreen capabilities for windows of type _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG. Since Windows applications don't expect such a restriction (dialogs can have maximize/minimize buttons under Windows) it's better to avoid setting DIALOG type to windows at all.
This will break z-order management, Metacity ignores the transient for hint on TYPE_NORMAL windows. Maybe we should try to not set the type at all?
