Yet msw seems to have solved the chicken and egg problem,
as we can always pop up a messagebox with a NULL parent;
and if the message text and caption are static strings,
IIRC, then the messagebox will be shown correctly even
in the case of complete resource exhaustion. Does GTK
have nothing similar to cover such contingencies?
