But dialog.run() makes sense only for a *modal* dialog. 
I want my dialogs to be *modeless*, and I want them to be destroyed 
when the user closes or deletes them.

Actually, my GtkMM application is a probe providing the GUI interface 
interacting with the GCC compiler (suitably extended by MELT, 
see http://gcc-melt.org/ for more)

my dialogs are giving (lazily) a lot of information on every relevant 
control location for a given GCC compilation 

I want them to be destroyed (not simply hidden) when the user closes them (and to be created when a 
user click on a button anchored inside a Gtk Source View buffer for the source 
code compiled by GCC), because each such dialog carries a lot of luggage.
