Not true, I don't need it but notice how, IMHO, ugly it is. :)
But, of course, if you insist, I'll add it.

Oh, OK, but I'm still looking into other toolkit's code.

There are two versions of `dialog_selection_callback' already:
Gtk-specific and `dialog_selection_callback' for any other toolkit.
How do my changes to Gtk-specific version force change on any other
toolkits?

And in this version of the patch even the chaining isn't needed
anymore.

I know, see my comment above.

And then I would still, have to cast them to `void (*) (GtkWidget *,
gpointer)' in order to actually call them in `popup_dialog_response_cb'.

OK, since I already defined the structure whose definition isn't used
more than twice, I think I'll stick with this option.

Am I missing something and the last line in
`popup_dialog_response_cb':

g_free (user_data);

is never reached?

Although it was true for a piece of code(case
GTK_RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT) I forgot to correct. Already fixed that.
