Most likely, the reason being that gtk_dialog_run blocks until the
dialog gets a response (the documentation points this out):

"Blocks in a recursive main loop until the dialog either emits the
response signal, or is destroyed." 

If you want a dialog that does not block, you can use something like:

	g_signal_connect_swapped 
		(dialog, "response",
		 G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy), NULL);

If you are STILL having problems because your procedure has tight loops
and/or the gtk main loop is not getting a chance to iterate pending
events, you might want to look into using:

        while (gtk_events_pending ())
		gtk_main_iteration ();

In your procedure.
