uhm, i think you meant

   return $self;

It's the empty action area at the bottom of the window.  You haven't  
added any response buttons.

Try adding this just before your return;

   $self->add_button ('gtk-close' => 'close');


Gtk2::Dialog is designed with a framework for "action buttons" that  
work with the response signal.  The box at the bottom of the window  
is where those go, and add_button() and friends are how you add  
them.  (You can also add them in the constructor.)

If you don't want the row of buttons at the bottom of the window,  
then you don't actually want a Gtk2::Dialog.

It allows the widget to be resized fairly freely.
