Re: Hiding modal dialogs

[Donny Viszneki <donny viszneki gmail com>]

The modal dialogs I've used offer a "run" method (working from Python)
which not only introduces the modal dialog, but pushes/nests a further
GMainLoop onto the main loop stack. By default, when the user hits a
button to end the dialog, this causes that GMainLoop to return, and my
"run" method to return me the code for the way the user closed the
dialog. At this point I call a "hide" method to hide the dialog, and
everything turns back to normal. Calling "run" again reappears the
dialog and re-pushes its main loop.
