not at all ;)
the simple solution to fritz's (urg, do you actually apostrophe-s
such a name? ;) which also takes care of carrying on the main_quit
flag is (and that's what BEAST's procedure dialog does):

dialog_run (GtkWidget *dialog)
{
  [...]

  gtk_widget_ref (dialog);

  [...]

  gtk_widget_show (dialog); /* GtkWindow.modal cares about modality here */
  do
    g_main_iteration (TRUE);
  while (GTK_WIDGET_VISIBLE (dialog));

  [...]

  gtk_widget_unref (dialog);

  [...]
}
