The bitmap export dialog is another example of this - although arguably it should be modal not dockable. Anyway, I was going to have a go at C ++ifying it some time.
Please, if you c++ify it, don't make it modal. Having a dockable (or at least, non-modal) export dialog allows one-click export, and that is great. It also allows one to do several partial exports in a row without reopening the dialog. On the other hand, what are the reasons to make it modal? Modal dialogs are a pain to work with when there is no danger of inconsistency, and I don't see what danger there is in the case of the export dialog.
