You need to connect a signal handler to "close" which returns TRUE; this
will keep the close from taking effect. You can also use
gnome_dialog_set_close() to change what "close" means (hide or destroy).
"close" is emitted when the user hits Escape, or hits the window manager
decoration, or clicks a dialog button (this last is configurable by the
programmer; if you don't automatically close on any click, you should
call gnome_dialog_close() yourself at some point).
