That is not quite right. The dialog is generated by the Script-Fu
extension and the extension should only show the interactive dialog when
the script is called in interactive mode.

The problem here is that if you call a Script-Fu script from another
Script-Fu script, then you are not doing a PDB procedure call. The
called script is evaluated directly by the Scheme interpreter. This may
lead to a somewhat different calling convention. I haven't looked at it
in detail and can't tell you exactly what this means for the run-mode.
