I can't (personally) see any reason for calling Dialog() on a specific 
window, but given that MS allow GetMessage() to be called with a 
specific window handle, there must be cases when people want to do this, 
and Dialog() is written to allow it.  Hence, I wouldn't change it to be 
forbidden.

Perhaps a warning issued if Dialog() is not called statically?  
Something like:

if( PL_dowarn && items !=0) warn("You probably meant 
Win32::GUI::Dialog()\n");

near the start of the CODE section?
