If you use gtk_dialog_run(), you need to call gtk_widget_destroy (dialog) 
yourself when you don't need the dialog any longer, as shown in the example 
code in the API reference: 

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkDialog.html#gtk-dialog-run

gtk_dialog_run() runs its own main loop, so you can use it before calling 
gtk_main() if you like.
