Hey Matthias - 

Any further thoughts on this? My feeling is that 
gtk_message_dialog_new_with_markup() with magic %s is what most people
want most of the time, and thus makes sense.

Should we go ahead and:

 - Add g_markup_printf_escaped() using my code from bugzilla
 - Make gtk_dialog_new_with_markup() use it.
 - Add gtk_dialog_set_markup()
 - Add gtk_label_set_printf()         [ gtk_label_format()?]
 - Add gtk_label_set_markup_printf() 

? 

Thanks,
						Owen
