What are you trying to achieve? gtk_dialog_run() runs the dialog as modal, i.e. all other controls in the application become non-responsive. With a hidden modal dialog you can neither use the rest of the UI nor bring the dialog back (because you must do *something* to bring it back but the UI is non-responsive). So, hiding modal dialogs makes no sense at all (hence Gtk+ terminates the nested loop when the dialog is unmapped). Maybe you have invented some novel interaction mode where this does not apply. Maybe you approach the problem from the wrong side. How can we tell?
