Can't add components (e.g. dialogs!) in init method

If you call the Thinlet.add method to add further
components to the desktop (e.g. a dialog) from the init
method then it won't appear. This is a rather nasty
problem because one is expected to initialize the GUI
(i.e. to fill it with some live data) in the init
method. Now how do you report errors during the
initialization? E.g. if you load some data from disk or
try to access an external device to load the initial
GUI contents this will be a problem.
