SYNOPSIS

         #
         # A modal dialog.  Note that the message is a printf-style format.
         #
         $dialog = Gtk2::MessageDialog->new ($main_application_window,
                                             'destroy-with-parent',
                                             'question', # message type
                                             'yes-no', # which set of buttons?
                                             "Pay me $%.2f?", $amount);
         $response = $dialog->run;
         if ($response eq 'yes') {
             send_bill ();
         }
         $dialog->destroy;

         #
         # A non-modal dialog.
         #
         $dialog = Gtk2::MessageDialog->new ($main_application_window,
                                             'destroy-with-parent',
                                             'question', # message type
                                             'ok-cancel', # which set of buttons?
                                             "Self-destruct now?");
         # react whenever the user responds.
         $dialog->signal_connect (response => sub {
                    my ($self, $response) = @_;
                    if ($response eq 'ok') {
                            do_the_thing ();
                    }

DESCRIPTION

       Gtk2::MessageDialog is 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 Gtk2::MessageDialog from Gtk2::Dialog without too much effort,
       but Gtk2::MessageDialog saves typing and helps create a consistent look and feel for your
       application.

       The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use "$dialog->run", which automatically
       makes your dialog modal and waits for the user to respond to it.  You can also pass in the
       GTK_DIALOG_MODAL flag when creating the MessageDialog.
