#GtkMessageDialog presents a dialog with an image representing the type of 
message (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text. It's simply a 
convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of #GtkMessageDialog 
from #GtkDialog without too much effort, but #GtkMessageDialog saves typing.

The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use gtk_dialog_run(), though
you can also pass in the %GTK_DIALOG_MODAL flag, gtk_dialog_run() automatically
makes the dialog modal and waits for the user to respond to it. gtk_dialog_run()
returns when any dialog button is clicked.
<example>
<title>A modal dialog.</title>
<programlisting>
 dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (main_application_window,
                                  GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                                  GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
                                  GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                  "Error loading file '&percnt;s': &percnt;s",
                                  filename, g_strerror (errno));
 gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
 gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>

<para>
You might do a non-modal #GtkMessageDialog as follows:
<example>
<title>A non-modal dialog.</title>
<programlisting>
 dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new (main_application_window,
                                  GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                                  GTK_MESSAGE_ERROR,
                                  GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                  "Error loading file '&percnt;s': &percnt;s",
                                  filename, g_strerror (errno));

 /* Destroy the dialog when the user responds to it (e.g. clicks a button) */
 g_signal_connect_swapped (dialog, "response",
                           G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy),
                           dialog);
</programlisting>
</example>
