        We already convert GnomeDialog - just the sheer amount of work
adding all the properties to GnomeDialog that are needed, and the effort
in making it work well didn't seem reasonable when contrasted with a
simple switch to GtkDialog.

        Of course this screws people who are expecting a gnome dialog to
come out of the glade file - involving user code changes; but ... hmm.
Possibly we could do evilish things like making GNOME_DIALOG () tolerate
GTK_DIALOGs and making gnome_dialog_run etc. work with GtkDialogs.
