This doesn't show anything:

dialog = gtk.Dialog(title=_("No Unviewed Media"), 
		      parent=None, 
                    flags=gtk.DIALOG_MODAL, 
                    buttons=(gtk.STOCK_OK, gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT))
label = gtk.Label(_("There is no unviewed media to download."))
dialog.vbox.pack_start(label, True, True, 0)
label.show()
response = dialog.run()
dialog.hide()
del dialog

But I also have a GtkWindow that I load with glade that doesn't get
shown.  It has a type hint of Dialog and a type of Top Level.
