Flame me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can initialize a dynamic struct
like that. In fact, I don't think standard C/C++ lets you do it at all.
Either you can initialize it one field at a time:

MyDialog[0].foo = d_shadow_box_proc;
MyDialog[0].bar = x;

Or you can use a GNU extension (see info node "Constructor Expressions"):

MyDialog[0] = ((DIALOG) {d_shadow_box_proc, x, ...});

Hope this helps.
