=head1 NAME

UI::Dialog::Backend::Zenity - wrapper of the Zenity application.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use UI::Dialog::Backend::Zenity;
  my $d = new UI::Dialog::Backend::Zenity ( backtitle => 'Demo',
                                            title => 'Default' );

  $d->msgbox( title => 'Welcome!', text => 'Welcome one and all!' );

=head1 ABSTRACT

Zenity is the speedy, slick, and ultimately cool GTK2 dialog variant that is
destined to obselete the current GNOME dialog variant; GDialog. This is an
OOPerl wrapper of the Zenity application.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

UI::Dialog::Backend::Zenity is the UI::Dialog backend for the new GNOME
dialog variant. While this module is used through UI::Dialog or any other loader
module only the compatible methods are ever accessible. However, when using
this module directly in your application (as in the SYNOPSIS example) you are
given access to all the options and features of the real zenity(1) application.
