Unfortunately, mlockall() isn't effective for an X application (for
the dialog) because the X server needs resources too, and that's not
usually mlock'd because it's too big. (It would be nice to have a
general solution to allow mlock'd GUI applications).

That seems like the simplest effective solution.
