The input dialog works entirely in terms of public GDK API, so anything
it does, you can do to:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Input-Devices.html

(Even programs that use GtkInputDialog typically use these functions to
save the state of the user's settings across sessions .... see the GIMP
or gsumi for examples of doing this.)
