I tried to work with new dialog and found an incorrect(?) behavior.
If string_entry is used, a string input line is active, i.e.
cursor is placed in the line and keyboard's events lead to input of a string.  
In old list_dialog() a list is active and  keyboard's events lead to
selection of an entry. Some users, like me, use keyboard for navigation
in list. I think, a list should be active when dialog-window is opened.
