We talked about that last Fri on #libreoffice-design -- this was targeted effort 
of Adolfo Jayme to have all dialogs comply to HIGs

Sample commits:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f7393810a7b716be3a2c99c86dc9d78bd834dbfa
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=dca47c4774a8373a7389268e3123bf8ebcf109c3

The rule, in this particular case, seemed to be "if there are no input fields 
in the dialog, make it non-resizable". And, IIRC, PDF export dialog got a new 
tab with input field(s) - the PDF signing tab - only after it has been made 
non-resizable

So if someone wants to fix an easy hack (very easy, really), this is a perfect 
opportunity, don't let it pass :)
