turns out that dialog gtk_widget_show_all's to get all the widgets
visible, hides the dialog, tweaks what is ultimately visible and then
reshows it. perfectly reasonable behavior in the absence of
gtk_widget_show_all_children(), I guess. 

meanwhile, commenting out the gtk_widget_hide makes a very usable
dialog, IMO. 

thanks again for the attention on this.
