Okay, that explains the differences I was seeing with how the ROX-Lib2
author is creating dialogs and how the tutorials and demos show how to
do them -- difference between modal and modeless. In this case, I'm
utilizing $dialog->show and connecting to the response events -- thus,
modeless. Using the delete-event trick in another post fixes my
problems.
