Must have been added after the snapshot I have (the one from the 15th).

I have taken one of my old Gtk-Perl scripts (from before I started
using Gtk::GladeXML) and am converting it to use Gtk2-Perl-XS.
Everytime I run into something missing or "wrong" (as in no defaults)
I dive into my snapshot and try to figure out how to make it work.
I am mostly comparing the Gtk2-Perl-XS code with the Gtk-Perl code
and cargo culting the code from the later to the former.

Right now I am stuck on Gnome2::Dialog.  It is deprecated, so I am
trying to decided whether it should be implemented with a warning
(to make porting easier) or to change the application code.
Frankly I am lazy, so I will probably change the app code as it
looks easier to do.

I will get on this after I finish porting gnome-sql-editor to
gnome2-sql-editor.
