Details:

The questdlg function doesn't return the name of the button pressed.  Rather,
it returns the name of the button with an ampersand embedded in it.  This is a
regression from 4.0

Sample code:


choice = questdlg ("Question?", "questdlg", "BTN1", "BTN2", "BTN3", "BTN1")
## Click BTN3
choice = &BTN3
## Try again and Click BTN1
choice = questdlg ("Question?", "questdlg", "BTN1", "BTN2", "BTN3", "BTN1")
choice = BT&N1


The '&' is likely there to represent the keyboard shortcut in Qt.  I haven't
checked but other dialogs are probably affected.
