For the next 1.2.1-pre I have removed rsbac_dialog and use the dialog command 
again, but: you need a fairly recent dialog with --help-button option. The 
latest release 0.9b-20020519 is now in the admin tool contrib dir and can 
thus be compiled with individual settings.

AFAIK, there is no official Xdialog with this option yet, but the ALTLinux 
people have one. Stanislav?
