Ouch.. this is completely different than what I had in mind... I was
hoping just to pas along a data structure not a structure with widgets as
that means I have to create them before creating the dialog.  I can see
how this would work but it would also chew memory as I am not just storing
the data but the widget overhead too...

I tried putting my data structure here (just data not widgets) and all I
got was crap from the variables.... (aka ascii garbage).... so doe sthis
mean that the data area on a signal connection must be widgets???? (I
think am either tired or on crack :P (not to mention I attached the data
updating to the destroy event rather than a clicked event.... if I switch
it over to a clicked event how would i kill off the window? )
