So I should connect the appropriate signals, call gtk_widget_show and 
perform actions (those which I would normally perform below 
gtk_dialog_run) in the signal handlers, right?

How do I make the dialog's parent ignore user input? Event if I call 
gtk_window_set_transient_for(dialog, parent), the parent remains clickable.
