What do you think is needed to fix this? Don't we have a way to check if
a dialog has been created by a Window?

Title:
  When closing a window in spread mode, the 'confirm' dialog box is
  hidden

Bug description:
  Hi, everybody. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, 32 bits (upgraded from 12.04
  some days ago).

  I have noticed that the spread mode now adds a button to allow closing
  windows for any app that has two or more open windows.  However, this
  new feature doesn't behave the best way.

  For example:  open two or more Firefox windows, and then open two or more tags inside all of them. Then, try to close any of the open windows by clicking the close button that is provided in the spread mode. A dialog box will emerge, asking you if you really want to close that window, because it has many open tags. The problem is that the dialog box will hide 'somewhere', forcing you to get out the spread in order to confirm and finally close the selected window. 
  You will see the same behaviour if you have, for example, two or more unsaved LibreOffice Writer documents, and then try to close any of them using the spread close button. The dialog box asking you if you want to save the changes before closing will appear (only for a while) and will immediately hide.

  Those dialog boxes should appear over the spread mode, and should
  never hide until the user confirms (or not) if he really wants to
  close the selected window.

  Please, fix it.
  Unity is becoming better, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

  Kind regards.
  Roberto.
