AW: [gtkmm] Dialog and MessageDialog?

["Meier, Elke" <elke meier sysde eads net>]

I remember getting this to work with Gtk 1.2.
Have you looked at the dialog example ? They define a run() method in
the dialog class which returns with the answer after the user clicked
OK or Cancel.
 I believe it calls Gtk::Main::run() (better check on this again).
 The OK and Cancel signal handlers set a global variable in the dialog
 class and call Gtk::Main::quit(), so the control returns to the 
dialogs run method, which returns the global variable.

I didn't mess with delete_event_impl(), but instantiated a new
dialog every time I needed it.

Cheers,
	Elke
