 Combining TinyMCE with jQueryUI is not a very good idea IMHO:

  * TinyMCE has all the functionality to create dialogs which is native,
 more extended and seems more robust than jQuery UI.
  * The reason why most dialog type scripts use an iframe is to remove any
 possibility of conflicts with the parent page. In out case such conflict
 might be introduced by a plugin that alters the edit screen.
  * There were suggestions some time ago to stop using jQuery UI in
 WordPress admin and replace it with one of the other jQuery plugins with
 similar functionality that are a lot more concise and robust.
