That's somewhat bogus then. Because there are hundreds of dialogs that
are neither windows nor questions (note that dialog != question, i.e. I
talk to you right, but there's no question in my reply, but its
nevertheless a dialog). Dunno if that patch to xfwm4 was already
applied, but if so, it should be reverted IMHO.
