OK, but the dialog is still wrong.

GnomeDialog:

 - handles delete_event automatically
 - can be centered over GnomeApp (user configurable)
 - has a frame around the edge for a 3D look, and a consistent
   edge padding
 - has a separator and button box with certain consistent spacing
 - obeys ui-properties settings with respect to center/mouse positioning
 - has some convenience options (just_hide, click_closes)
 - has some default accelerators (return to hit button, Escape to delete)

Cauldron can emulate some of this, but AFAIK it doesn't do it all,
certainly not by default. Fixable of course, but problematic at this time.
