you create the dialog, show it, then call gtk_main() again (it can be
called recursively). then in the handlers for the destroy_event,
delete_event plus any regular ways of completing the dialog, you call
gtk_quit(). this puts you back at the same level of the main loop as
you were to begin with. its very elegant once you understand the idea.
