    <remarks>
      <para>
        <see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> presents a <see cref="T:Gtk.Dialog" /> with an image representing the 
	<see cref="T:Gtk.MessageType" /> (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text.
	It is available as a convenience. You could construct the equivalent of 
	<see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> from <see cref="T:Gtk.Dialog" /> without too much effort, but 
	<see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> saves typing.
      </para>
      <para>
	The <see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> is displayed using <see cref="M:Gtk.Dialog.Run()" />, which
	automatically makes the <see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> modal and waits for the user to respond to it.
	<see cref="M:Gtk.Dialog.Run()" /> returns when any <see cref="T:Gtk.Button" /> 
	in the <see cref="T:Gtk.Dialog" /> is clicked or the <see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> is closed.
      </para>
      <para>
	After  <see cref="M:Gtk.Dialog.Run()" /> returns, you are responsible for hiding (using <see cref="M:Gtk.Widget.Hide()" />) or destroying (using <see cref="M:Gtk.Widget.Destroy()" />) the dialog if you wish to do so.</para>
      <para>
        A simple message dialog
	<example>
          <code lang="C#">
MessageDialog md = new MessageDialog (parent_window, 
                                      DialogFlags.DestroyWithParent,
	                              MessageType.Error, 
                                      ButtonsType.Close, "Error loading file");
	
int result = md.Run ();
md.Destroy();
  	  </code>
        </example></para>
      <para>
        A yes/no message dialog
	<example>
          <code lang="C#">
MessageDialog md = new MessageDialog (parent_window, 
                                      DialogFlags.DestroyWithParent,
	                              MessageType.Question, 
                                      ButtonsType.YesNo, "Are you sure you want to quit?");
	
ResponseType result = (ResponseType)md.Run ();

if (result == ResponseType.Yes)
	Application.Quit();
else
	md.Destroy();
  	  </code>
        </example></para>
      <para>
        If you would like the <see cref="T:Gtk.MessageDialog" /> to not be modal, set the property <see cref="P:Gtk.Dialog.Modal" /> to <see langword="false" />.
		<example>
          <code language="C#">
md.Modal = false;
