I guess Chu is not really opening a dialog box but a new window which
gets maximized but still drawn at an offset which makes parts of it
disappear. BTW, what happens if a program tries to open a second window?
With emacs (I'm using 21.1.) this is not possible: I can do C-x 5 2
but when I then try C-x 5 0 it says "attempt to delete minibuffer or
sole ordinary window". There seems to be something missing here (or it's
simply me missing sth :-(

Any help appreciated
