I don't think you can have a dialog that's also a QGraphicsItem.
Grpahics items are in a graphics scenes, and these are it seems 2d
constructs. There does not seem to be any dialog support in
QGraphics*, and i'm not sure any would make sense.

You should still be able to use dialogs... so you could use
QMessageBox directly, or create a custom dialog from QDialog - but
it's still a dialog that's in front of the application.

Unless you want one of those MDI windows as graphics items - but I
think in that case you will have to create your own representation of
a dialog using several QGraphicsItems (if this is even possible).
