I've now put it like this in the HIG:

---
Application-specific dialogs can also be accessed from the application using a 
button or menu entry.
- If the application window is clearly separated into a navigation and a 
content area (like in a web browser) and has a starting page from which the 
user can navigate to different content, a button is placed on that starting 
page which navigates to the configuration "page", which is displayed inline in 
the content area
- In all other cases, the configuration dialog is placed fullscreen above the 
application.

I'm not sure if that's actually understandable. Any improvements on the 
definition are welcome :)
