The bug seems like a pretty picky one.  When I did stuff in a certain
order, the bug completely disappears, but if I do it the wrong way it
comes back.  Here is the order that makes the bug disappear:
   1. open my dialog window (gcDialog)
   2. open a file selection dialog (gcFileSelection (only derived it from
      Gtk_FileSelection in order to fix the delete_event thing))
   3. ... Everything after this works fine.
If I open two gcDialog's in a row, it screws up.  I am completely clueless
about what's going on.
