My only problem with that is that it makes it MUCH more difficult to keep the
sidebar in an undocked state.  The most intuitive way of dismissing a dialog is
by using the window decorations.  Instead of closing the dialog as I would
rationally expect, it now reenables the sidebar and in a state that I'm trying
to avoid.

In 4.4.0+, I will be FORCED to use the sidebar for the "Styles and formatting"
dialog.  I would like to be able to use the sidebar to mimick the same behavior
of the old dialog.  With a few changes, I could use this new sidbar in a way
that I'm use to.

If you want an example, the proposed change would make the sidebar behave
exactly like dismissing an undocked page pane in Draw.  Clicking on the "X"
window decorator for an undocked page pane in Draw does not reenable a docked
page pane.  It disables the page pane.  When you use View->page pane, it
reenables the undocked page pane.
