There is no run:

Error: no property run for type gtk.Window.Window

(I'm using a window, trying with a real dialog)

Same problem. Shows up the first time but then corrupt the second(the window that pops up is smaller and just a gray rectangle with a square).

I feeling is that some how the popup handler is corrupting the window. I'm going to try to dispatch it... same issue.

dialog.run();
dialog.destroy();
dialog.run();
dialog.destroy();
dialog.run();
dialog.destroy();

does not work, unlike when I use a window and hide and show

For example, this works:

dialog.run();
dialog.showAll();
dialog.hide();
dialog.showAll();
dialog.hide();
dialog.showAll();
dialog.hide();
dialog.run();
dialog.run();

The showAll doesn't seem do do anything.

but running it 3 times requires me to close it 3 times... but it always shows up properly.

[------HERE]

What seems to be happening is something like this:

When closing out the window/dialog it destroys the window and it is not recovered(Remember, I'm using glade builder to generate the window).

If I do

 dialog.run();
 dialog.destroy();

dialog.run();

Then after the first close the window is screwed up on the next run

So it seems like the window is being destroyed and I'm trying to run a destroyed window/dialog.

I do not destroy it but only click on the x in upper right corner. So somewhere there is an implicit destroy in the code or something is trashing the window/dialog somehow.

If you are using a window, then the default handler for the close button
will destroy the window, and unref and possibly destroy it's children.

You will need to connect a handler that hides the window instead of
destroying it:

dialog.addOnDelete((_, widget){ widget.hide(); return true; });

A dialog.run does this for you, which is why you need to call hide
or destroy when run returns.
