NAME
     pekwm_dialog - a xmessage inspired dialog application

SYNOPSIS
     pekwm_dialog [--display] message

DESCRIPTION
     pekwm_dialog presents a simple dialog with a title, image, message text and
     a button for each options specified. If no options are specified the dialog
     will have an Ok button.

     The  caller  can  identify  which options was selected by checking the exit
     code of the application. The first option will exit  with	status	code  0,
     next with 1 and so on.

     Given  this  behavior  it is recommended to have ok as the first option and
     then cancel as the second and then further options. This caters  for  stan-
     dard  exit code 0 on ok, and cancel would give the same exit code as on er-
     rors.

     The illustration below depicts the layout of dialog elements:
