I had to change a lot of signals stuff since there is no more a
"destroy" signal (and also it's better to use weak references) and since
the gtk_signal_connect_while_alive() func has disappeared.

This is also a good opportunity to simplify sometimes the way the
dialogs are handled (I've seen a new function GtkDialogRun which can
improve readability by reducing the number of callbacks) because I did
not have any experience when I started using them.

Then wait a bit till I switch from the "finalize" to "dispose" methods
or you'll end up with too much bugs...
