interestingly enough, i've found myself more than once writing code to 
reinitialize a dialog with the same values the user entered the last 
time the dialog was up (for which just using hide() is really handy).  
it can be a very useful usability trick in certain circumstances, for 
example, where the next thing you enter is likely to be only slightly 
different from the previous thing.
