Should
(MessageDialogWindow new text: 'Hello') open

I get a stack trace on CompositionScanner if I try to set the text.
Yes. Please open a bug entry. (If you want to help, try with a few older versions of pharo to find out when the bug was introduced)
Where can I learn how to open a bug entry and/or how to submit a fix?
Yes, maybe MessageDialogWindow should init the font with a default font.
You are correct; adding: MessageDialogWindow>>initialize ^super initialize textFont: (Smalltalk ui theme textFont) Corrects the problem in Pharo 4.0 and Pharo 5.0
Also, is there a way to display the dialog modally (relative to your
application)?
Take a look at Morph>openModal:
Thank you!

And this DialogWindow classes are used by UITheme, for example
Smalltalk ui theme messageIn:World text:'Some MessageText' title:'The Title'. or for long messages: Smalltalk ui theme longMessageIn:World text: ProfStef pharoZenValuesContents title:'Pharo Zen'.
The "World" argument specifies to which Window this Dialog should be modal.
This seems like what I should have done in the first place! Rob
