I'm not convinced that this is better. Try the following scenario:
* Open a somewhat small browser window.
* Click Create table.
* Maximise the browser window.
The dialog remains the same size, is padded with a lot of white space
and there is no way to resize it, so the user has to close and reopen
it. Same goes for making the browser window smaller after opening the
dialog: you can't resize it, so you end up with two sets of scrollbars
anyway.

Also I'm not sure why you committed the following:

--- a/js/functions.js
+++ b/js/functions.js
@@ -1433,6 +1433,8 @@ function PMA_ajaxRemoveMessage($this_msgbox)
             // due to a bug in qtip's implementation we can
             // only hide it without throwing JS errors.
             $this_msgbox.qtip('hide');
+        } else {
+            $this_msgbox.remove();
         }
     }
 }

This change looks irrelevant to your work and besides the messages are
destroyed at line 1388 via a callback, so this change may cause
conflicts though I haven't verified this.

Let's see what others have to say, but personally I'd like to see that
changeset reverted.
