[PatternFly] modals and wizards -- should they be movable?

Hi all,

We recently implemented Patternfly styling on our modal dialogs, and
instantly received a bug [1] about them no longer being draggable.
According to a quick search, bootstrap's modals do not support dragging,
but that functionality could be added with jquery-ui [2]. According to [3],
it's not a great idea.

oVirt is quite modal-dialog heavy, so I can see why users would want this.
We are in the planning stages of moving away from having so many dialogs,
so I'm not terribly worried about it. But I did think it was a good idea to
ask the list.

So, what do people think about draggable modals?

Best wishes,
Greg
