Sounds like you want to check the return value of gtk_dialog_run.

  choice = gtk_dialog_run(...)

The return value will be a standard value corresponding to YES or NO (check
the docs on GTK_BUTTONS_YES_NO).

You don't need g_signal_connect for these special dialog boxes, since they
only exist during gtk_dialog_run(), waiting for a response. gtk_dialog_run()
takes cares of all the dialog box details for you.
