I know this is not ideal ... but as a temporary fix ... you could hide
the dialog, in the callback, instead of deleting it.

Yes, I agree.  That's what I'm worried about in my app ... it works ... but
in the back of my mind I know a bug lurks.  I hate that !  :)

Yes, I suggest take your problem to the devel list.  Someone there (ie. the
pui author) should be more helpful.

Damn, I hate it when the example works ... but then crashes in your own
framework.  Happens to me all the time. :)

What you need is a simple example that demonstrates the problem.
