I've had a first stab - the boilerplate is pretty easy, but it turns out
hooking closure of a GtkDialog is deceptively hard to pin down. Looks
like hooking (GtkWidgetClass)->unmap on the dialog works though.

For some reason, I'm not getting "unmap-event" back from GDK, and the
"delete" event seems to get eaten too. (Possibly the dialog is being
destroyed in a response handler called by the first delete event hook.)

Hooking the response handler is possible - but not directly helpful, as
we don't know which response codes result in gschem deciding to close
the dialog.

On the plus side, I spotted some redundant code which manually closes a
dialog on pressing the "ESCAPE" key - which GTK does its-self anyway -
certainly in a late 2.4 GTK.

I'm away from tomorrow, but I'll keep looking when I'm back next week.
