Yes if you hide the owner window all owned windows (dialogs) are hidden.

Use the transient overwrite feature. But this removes all borders so
you have to draw the frame yourself. On windows it is possible to
disable the [x] button , but you need some sophisticated c code.

If you are reponsible for moving around the windows, then it is of
course possible. But with this i think that learning FOX more
intensive or using WxRuby might be better.
