no, it reuses the same dialog if it already exists. if the user clicks the 
KIconButton again, all that happens is the icon canvas does an update. and 
since the dialog has the KIconButton as a parent, it stays on top of it at 
all times. the user really has to go out of their way to attempt this, and 
even if they do nothing bad happens.

already tried that when testing it =) answer: the icon picker dialog closes 
because the KIconButton is its parent widget. in other words, exactly what 
one would expect.

understood; in fact, that's why i tried so many different things when testing 
it. hope i answered your questions...
