I'm sure you won't need to do this.

Generally, if you want help, please reduce the code to a standalone, 
runnable, and ideally short sample. I'm very happy to help, but it's too 
much to expect people to install extra libraries and second-guess what 
the rest of your app is doing.

I did try running your code, pruned of the LDAP stuff. It seems fine to 
me - there's nothing in the dialog layout itself. I would suggest 
checking that the dialog has an explicit parent, not nil - it is better 
in most cases that the dialog is linked to a parent frame. In the 
special case that an application consists only of a single dialog, you 
must use Dialog#destroy to end the app, close is not sufficient.

If this doesn't help, I would look further into net/ldap and see whether 
this is causing it to hang - ie, if ok does nothing but 'close' does it 
work fine?
