When attempting to move the wizard-window out of the way it won't let you move it without moving the parent window as well. This does not happen for MessageDialog objects.

The following short video demonstrates the issue:

This is gnome shell behavior for modal dialogs - one can't move them aside without  the parent. Nothing we can do here.
