I had a preliminary try at it; see attached.

The idiom is pretty common; little inner class handler with a field so
we can capture a value and return it.

By itself, this doesn't fix our lock problem. But I thought I'd show it
to you in case it caused you to think of anywhere interesting to go from
here.

Obviously the fact that we are iterating the real [outer] main loop
rather than creating a(n implicit) new inner one is what is different
compared to the real gtk_dialog_run().

Maybe that alone will help? Someone with a threaded program that
demonstrates the bug will need to test that...

Attached is a bundle, so if you want to merge & try it, go ahead :)
