Another tiling WM user here. I use stumpwm (written in
lisp), with everything full screen. The default bindings are
similar to GNU screen, but using Ctrl-T as the hotkey.
Dialogs float to the top.
Occasionally I'll encounter an app that crashes stumpwm.
Since I use screen, however, the recovery is pretty easy:
I get all my terminals back when the WM executes screen -R -d
Cheers,
Joel

It's not really tiling the dialog, is it? I guess the dialog is
floating, but I don't know ion3. I try tiling WMs since a while now,
currently i3 (not related to ion3). I run almost everything in
fullscreen mode, dialogs are usually floating and that's where things
tend to go wrong, so tiling dialogs might be an idea.
I love that i3 even manages to tile jkmeter (other tiling WMs didn't).
http://freeshell.at/~murks/jkmeter_tiled_h2.png <- just a quick test,
but with a little scripting or session management.. The font is whatever is the default if you
don't have KDE installed (I don't). I don't know of any way to change it.
Try qtconfig (or qtconfig-qt4). There's no KDE dependency involved any more.
... oh, but hang on a minute -- is that RG 1.7.x? In that case there
is a KDE dependency, and I have to admit I've quite forgotten how
you'd change the font without it.
Might be worth trying a newer RG as another option.
The WM is ion3, which tiles windows. I guess
it's doing with the dialog whatever it was told to do.
Never really occurred to me, when thinking about tiling window
managers (which I've never used) that one would ever want to tile
dialogs. Interesting.
