Absolutely trivial, up to here.  Make it your first gtk+ project... a
message box widget.

As far as I can tell, gtk+ has no support for modal dialogs (yet).
This shouldn't be too hard to add, but it would have to be somone more
familiar with the workings of gdk than I.

Is there anything in the works for this kind of support?  I know of at
least one person (read: Michael K. :) who -really- wants this feature.
