[pygtk] closing dialog box

[Samuel Cormier-Iijima]

If you want a dialog box, you should probably subclass gtk.Dialog,
which has a convenient 'run' interface. If you really need your own
window, the reason it's closing is because you're calling
gtk.main_quit(). What you should really do is just hide the dialog
when it's done (I think the Python garbage collector will call
g_object_unref() later, but I could be wrong...)

Cheers,
Samuel
