It would be enough if you make the GtkNotebook of the dialog
accessible through GeanyMainWidgets or the GeanyProject structure (I
do something similar when adding the new tab to the sidebar through
sidebar_notebook in GeanyMainWidgets). But then the dialog should be
created when the user opens a project (and hidden) and already be
available when the project-open signal is emitted. The dialog should
also be only hidden when it is closed. I haven't checked the sources
so I don't know whether geany already does it this way or not.
