The way I handle this is to create a separate module which will
create a dialog widget with all the buttons. Basically I code in
the creation and destruction of the dialog with all its callbacks
(for its various buttons).

Then I create a `get_response()' function that whenever you call
it will; map the dialog I created, wait for the user to click on
a button, then return control.

This is handled by having a gtk_main() in get_response(), so that
after the dialog is mapped, gtk_main() is called to ```block'''
execution untill a user clicks on a dialog's button.
When the dialog's button is clicked I call gtk_main_quit() to
break out of the loop, unmap the dialog widget, and return control
to the calling function (with an optional return value).

You should pass to get_response() a reference toplevel window to
set modal and transient for so that the user must make a response
on the dialog and not interact with widgets on other windows.

If you have any question on any of the points above, please ask.
