In general, this seems to be a WM issue.  sawfish has some "Warp the
mouse pointer" settings.

Your proposal might work for Yes/No like dialogs.  In dialogs with some
more settings it's more appropriate to move the pointer to the upper
left corner or something.

Hopyfully, it's possible to remember the "previous" mouse pointer
position and to restore after close the dialog.
