Gtk Dialog window hangs around

Ruby
1

Hi Folks,

I’m doing a project that makes quite a bit of use of Gtk::Dialogs.
They are not called from within a parent window, just from within a
normal Ruby app like so:

  self.check(options)
  Gtk.init
  self.build(options)
  dialog = Gtk::MessageDialog.new(
    nil,
    Gtk::Dialog::MODAL,
    options[:type],
    options[:buttons],
    options[:text].to_s)
  options[:title] ? dialog.set_title(options[:title]) : nil
  dialog.signal_connect("delete_event"){Gtk.main_quit}

  result = nil
  dialog.run do |response|
    case response
    when Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE_OK:
      result = true
    when Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE_CANCEL:
      result = false
    end
  end
  dialog.destroy
  return result

The problem I am having is that the window containing the dialog does
not disappear after the dialog.run call is finished. It becomes a
blank grey square and if you close it with the window manager it kills
the entire process. Is it not possible to use Gtk::Dialog nicely
outside of a pre-existing Gtk window?

Thanks,
Farrel

Ignore this line it’s been taken out but the blank window is still
persisting…
