As an aside, I think these setters are probably bloat - nobody is
going to change the stuff after creating the dialog, so why not just
go with properties. Especially if the convenience function already
requires use of properties.

Almost everyone's just going to use the convenience function anyway.

Yeah, I'd have to vote for that too I guess. The only real downside 
is that people might not set all the fields they really should, but 
it's not such a big deal if they don't. 

Can just have a good <programlisting> example in the docs, that uses
all the properties that are available.
