not at all, GtkDialog is designed for this usage.

however, mixing $dialog->run and a response handler is bad juju.  
either hook up a response handler and call $dialog->show, *or* call 
$dialog->run and look at the returned value.

if you have a document view in there, or an empty action area, then 
sure.  otherwise, there's no reason you should have to change.  if it 
looks like a dialog, you are safe using a dialog base, because that 
will keep your UI consistent for the user.
