If the dialog is modal, then this clearly expresses what's
going on.

If the dialog is not modal or you like it the hard^welegant
way, do not use gtk_dialog_run(), set up a "response"
handler and put all the logic there.

Whatever you did before, just continue doing it.  Mixing
gtk_dialog_run() with a "response" handler is good only for
obfuscation...
