dialog.popup(dialog=NULL)
dialog, as returned by the
dialog.create function. A
value of
NULL causes the "current" dialog to be used.
This function ends up calling the Xlib routine
XMapRaised(), which "marks a
window as eligible for display." The window manager program in use may be
involved in actually getting the window display (if, for instance, the window
is currently iconified or in a different "room" or "workspace").
