if would do it this way (not waiting for input, i dont like stuff, that
blocks the rest and i think GTK was not designed for such things)

connect_button_pressed() {
  if (no_server)
    server_popup();
  else
    connect_to_server();
}

server_popup_ok_clicked() {
  if (valid_server_entered())
    connect_to_server();
  else
    give_some_message();
}
