There is an inconsistency between decorations of dialogs due to old-C-style dialogs and new C++-style ones. Decorations are the minimize, maximize and close buttons. The old dialogs (eg. Fill&Stroke) have all 3, the new dialogs (eg. Transform) only have the close button. What is the desired decoration style? I vote for only the close button, and perhaps a button to 'collapse' it (minimizing on the spot).
Actually, now I try it, I don't experience it that way at all.
In KWin I get maximise and close buttons for most dialogs, but only a close button on Document Properties.
In Metacity I get a mixture as you describe.
In either WM, the most broken dialog is the Document Background colour window, which appears as a separate icon on the taskbar and doesn't focus with the main window, like other dialogs do.
