Partially revert "Don't override dialog y: values"
This reverts one part of commit a0d31ca2.
Most of these dialogs didn't need to override the y: value, but the column configuration dialog did, since it's helpful to be able to see which columns are currently visible.
Restore that and add a comment explaining why it's there so no one removes it again in the future.
