I *think* that no matter how the dialog gets destroyed, it will still be
"alive" when you return from gtk_dialog_run(), but I'm not 100%
positive.

that's fine by me, better safe than sorry at this point I guess :-)

the container width is right, as far as the vbox padding - that has
always confused me.

the way I've found to get it to be right, is to do:

gtk_box_set_spacing (GTK_BOX (vbox), 6);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), widget, ..., ..., 0);

however, in the case of dialog->vbox, I think doing that makes things
look wonky because the dialog button hbox has already set it's padding
and so you get the vbox spacing plus the button-box padding ,and the
buttons look like they are floating out in the middle of a lake :-)

so I think using the box_pack padding is the right way to do it here,
but I'm not sure if that padding would be 3 or 6 (spacing between
widgets should be 6, but I think if you pad each widget in a vbox with 6
pixels, it results in a spacing between widgets of 12 pix?)

if I'm wrong, just ignore me - this has been something that has always
confused me :-)
