ok, i understand the problem:
you have to call the page with the parameter style=new

the point is that there are a lot of older dialogs (but no list dialog) used in
the new administration framework, and this parameter controls the included
style sheets, js, and other stuff.
the best fix for that is to always set this magical parameter somewhere in the
A_CmsListDialog class.

that is the idea, but your are the first one trying it out! so as said before
give us your feedback.
