bug#69460: 29.2.50; dialog confirmation box not working

[Jeff Filipovits]

Previously (Emacs 28),

(let ((last-nonmenu-event nil))
   (yes-or-no-p "whatever"))

Would pop up a system dialog box. This does not work 
anymore. Forgive me if I missed something in the release notes. I 
also tried:

(let ((last-nonmenu-event nil)
     (use-dialog-box t))
   (yes-or-no-p "whatever"))

To no avail.
