i think you would have to do that in either case

also you could GRAB the Focus to the dialog box window - your app doesn´t
respond to anything but to data passed to the dialog box window

but about that -
I once read you could interleave the gtk_main_loop thingie, this could help
you with creating a blocking function, waiting for a button click

but i´m not sure wether it´s true or what at all %-)
also i´m not aware of the gtk_main_loop() handling in gtk--  , but it should
be worth further investigation.
