Most likely, the reason being that gtk_dialog_run blocks until the
dialog gets a response (the documentation points this out):
"Blocks in a recursive main loop until the dialog either emits the
response signal, or is destroyed."
If you want a dialog that does not block, you can use something like:
g_signal_connect_swapped
(dialog, "response",
G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy), NULL);
If you are STILL having problems because your procedure has tight loops
and/or the gtk main loop is not getting a chance to iterate pending
events, you might want to look into using:
while (gtk_events_pending ())
gtk_main_iteration ();
In your procedure.
