I would like to open a dialog box for OAuth authorization instead of redirecting to the whole page and then back. So it would be great if I could pass a parameter to make dialog box on OAuth page appear over whole window, and not small part of it.

We can't allow framing of the page, but it should be a trivial change to prevent loading the javascript that creates the dialog, so you can have the authorization page in a small popup like Yahoo used to use.
Yes, I had a popup in mind. I am using now a popup, but the issue is that then the overlay inside the page is not over the whole window. So there could be a query string parameter which would make overlay inside the window appear from edge to edge.
