[Qgis-developer] Qt::Dialog instead of Qt::Tool

[Tom Elwertowski]

I'm in favor of this change; the behavior is similar on a Mac. A tool 
window is supposed to hide itself when switching applications and is 
usually used for tool palettes.

However, I prefer that that the change from QWidget to QDialog be made 
in the .ui files rather than changing it at runtime. This prevents 
future readers of the code from wondering why it's created one way and 
used another way.

I can do this for both classes if you prefer.
