Exactly what I figured too. Unfortunately I don't seem to get a 

  (event->type == GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS)

if I use button_release_event instead of button_press_event. No double click signaled,
no modal dialog shown, no problem (but also no feature).

I have tried even 

  while (gtk_events_pending ())
    gtk_main_iteration ();

just before the dialog is shown but it does not help either.
