no, it's not.  it's a fixed-size, non-adjustable window.

if it was adjustable, i would have adjusted it myself rather than submit
a bug report.

maybe metacity ignores the instruction to be a dialog window, but
sawfish doesn't (i use sawfish with afterstep theme. partly because
i'm used to it and the buttons are where i expect them to be, and
partly because you can middle-click in the maximise button to get a
vertical-only maximise...which metacity can't/doesn't do)
