I don't know if this makes a difference, but Gtk2-perl requires the
explicit hide() after run() as well.  At least the docs state the
requirements clearly.

Perhaps add API: 

int Dialog::run_and_hide()
{
  int result = run();
  hide();
  return result;
}

Usage:

Dialog better;
int you = better->run_and_hide();  // cause I'm gonna git you sucka


Ok, I admit it.  That was just an excuse for a joke.  But I still think
it's better to add API than "fix" the bug.  What's the consensus in
other bindings?
