Bug Description
Although the underlying dialog supports 'colors' and 'no-collapse' option, python-dialog does not support them. These are particularly useful when redering ASCII art (ie. Logos) in dialogs.
I'll attach a simple patch which will enable these options to be passed to dialog.
There are quite a few other options which are not supported, maybe it is worth enabling them all.
Cheers,
Simon.
