This may be a window manager tweak. I'm using sawfish, and there's
a checkbox "Dialogs appear on the same workspace as their application".

When I get a galeon timeout dialog (and I'm pretty sure that mozilla
did the same thing) it pops up wherever I happen to be working at the 
moment. I can just dismiss it and go back to the browser when I'm ready.
