[Glade-users] GtkHelpDialog and close....

[roland at astrofoto.org (Roland Roberts)]

I've seen this listed as a bug elsewhere and seen it listed as 
not-a-bug.  But it's annoying.

The "Credits" and "License" buttons just work without having to connect 
any signals.  But the close button does nothing.  And when building with 
glade, the internal action area does not let me access the close button 
to connect a signal.  Instead, what I find from searching the web is 
that I have to do something like this in my callback:

void
on_menu_help_about_activate_cb(GtkObject *object, gpointer user_data)
{
    GtkWidget *window = GTK_ABOUT_DIALOG(gtk_builder_get_object(builder, 
"help_about_dialog"));
    gtk_about_dialog_set_version(window, VERSION);
    /* gtk_widget_show(window); */
    gtk_dialog_run(window);
    gtk_widget_hide(window);
}

But the gtk_dialog_run effectively makes the dialog modal.

Is there a way around this?
