This attempts to make the installion a little less grating by not
clearing the screen every time a like-sized dialog is going to splat
on top of another one. If you don't want the screen to clear, set
clear="", otherwise leave it set to (or set it back to) "--clear".
It can't be set to "" all the time since then small dialogs appearing
on top of big dialogs look funky.
