This all strikes me as rather hacky (particularly when you consider
that not all window managers will unmap/manage the dialog).  I
would just put in callbacks to set a global which you then check
in your loop.  Better yet, I wouldn't have a loop - I'd just return
to the main event loop and do everything asynch.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
