With the old gdialog, I actually tried using menu, and switched to
radiolist because it looked better. The radiolist also offers a
default choice (Exit, in this case), which is a minor help. And, at
least in the old version, radiolist only lets you select one option.
I'll investigate how best to deal with this mess soon.
