Thanks mate, your suggestion works like a clock!
Finally, I settled to using g_timeout_add_seconds as the GTK manual
says it is more optimized.

For future reference to others
=========================

In your dialog function
 - Create and configure dialog
 - source_id = g_timeout_add (2 seconds, callback, dialog);
 - run dialog

In  your callback function
- quit dialog
- if (source_id > 0) source_id = (g_source_remove (source_id), 0);
- source_id = 0; <-- reset source timeout id
- return FALSE; <-- ensure timeout is cancelled
=========================

HTH

Thanks,
B
