Well, that is actually what I'm doing...(I hope that was no sarcasm ;)
The resolution selection part is already done, but I'm having some problems 
with the "enter a text" part:
I can't find a way to transparently write "text" as the first word into 
.result with the current scripts. You solved this for lists by returning 
"listsel x" for a selected item, but "lxdialog --inputbox" doesn't support 
that (at least I think so, can't find much documentation about it)
