please, don't continue to do the same mistake over and over again.
A toolkit should not provide dialogs for special purposes. It should
provide widgets. Leave it up to the application developer to embed
that widget into a dialog. If you insist, you can add a convenience
function that creates a dialog with the widget packed into it, but
please provide a way to create the standalone widget.

This mistake has been done before (see GtkInputDialog and
GtkFileSelection) and it has bitten us (the GIMP developers) every so
often.


Salut, Sven
