I have a very strong argument against it!!

Imagine you are developing an application that need to communicate
with the database.
Also imagine this application will be used by millions of users inside
different companies.

SInce the application will require DB access you will need a dialog to
ask for credentials.

I, personally, would be very surprised if such dialog would appear
somewhere at the bottom of the screen,
as dialogs ARE TLWs (top level windows).

Wouldn't you?

So why I somewhat agree with such a notion - it is not always a useful feature.
Also, such an algorithm better allow me to save and restore the
geometry of the TLW.

Thank you.
