It would add considerably to the complexity of the X11 VM - Xlib does not provide a dialog box call, whereas Win and Mac libraries do.
You could try to write it using Xlib calls, which would involve laying out text, drawing a button, having another event loop etc. No fun, besides you would get complains that it does not follow the user's desktop theme or native language. Or you could make the VM depend on GTK or KDE which we have avoided so far.

Couldn't you just use a dialog that already exists in Squeak? Like the one that pops up with you try to change a method that's been modified since you started editing?
