info layer windows not resizeable and not reappearing when josm is activated

[richlv]

layer info windows (when right-clicking a layer and choosing "info") are modal, but there are two problems with them :

a) they are not resizable, and some of them do not fit in screen (for example, downloaded gpx trace info window);
b) even though they are modal, they can be "minimised". this way they do not appear in the active process list, and main josm window becomes inoperable. even deactivating it and reactivating does not bring the modal window back - the only way to use it again is to alt-tab to the layer info window and close it.
maybe these windows should not have "minimise" control and should always be topmost when josm window is activated (assuming they were minimised some other way)

linux, kde 4.7, openjdk.

I don't know if there's an easy way to deal with the minimizing button that only affects KDE.

I'm committing something that fix point A (gpx info is resizable) and could fix point B (cannot test right now). However if B is not fixed I don't plan to investigate further, it's not worth it.

In 6708/josm:

fix #8417 - info GPX layer window not resizeable

for the record, (b) is still a problem with 6767.
also, these modal dialogs are half-modal - for example, if you have gpx layer info dialog open with "geotagged images" popup open before, you can still resize & do other things to the images popup. not sure whether that's worth looking into :)
