Now, I see your point. On the other hand in Unity window title doesn't
play that important role in window-switching. Can we compromise on
exposing run-time variable something along the lines of
`gtk-popup-dialogs-show-titles' and then the appearance could be
controlled from user's .emacs?

All right, in for a penny in for a pound, how about
`gtk-popup-dialogs-message-format' to control that aspect?

Do you mean change how dialogs look in all toolkits?
Yes, I think it would be even a better idea, I'll look into it.
Hopefully Lennart would be able to find his patches for w32, and then
they could be used.

It still won't change the fact that original
`dialog_selection_callback' duplicates the functionality of
`popup_deactivate_callback'.


I attached reworked version of the patch, it still lacks comments with
description for new functions, but I'll add it as soon as the code
stabilizes.
