The problem is that you're using the "pressed" signal instead of
"clicked"; use "clicked" for this purpose.

"pressed" is emitted when the button is pressed in, "released" is emitted
when the button pops out, and "clicked" is emitted after the
pressed+released combination. The problem you're seeing is that 
the button calls gtk_grab_add() when pressed, and gtk_grab_remove() when
released; when you set a dialog modal, it also calls gtk_grab_add(), so
then the button's gtk_grab_remove() removes the wrong grab and makes a big
mess.

Anyway, this is a GTK bug but you should really be using "clicked" anyway,
so the workaround isn't painful. Thanks for the nice code example, I was
able to compile it and identify the problem very quickly. Everyone should
do this when asking questions. :-)
