I don't see the problem - gtk_dialog_run() just enters the main loop,
gtk_main() just enters the main loop also. 

So you do:

 response = gtk_dialog_run ();
 /* handle response */
 gtk_main ();

It should work just fine.

You don't even need to use gtk_main(), it's fine to just use
g_main_loop_run() directly as well.
