exiting app doesn't seem to work for me as documented

["Karl H. Beckers" <karl h beckers gmx net>]

Hi all,

trying to build this gtk2 GUI with glade, but it won't quit
properly.

If I make the delete event return FALSE, it still doesn't seem
to trigger the destroy event (correctly) and seems to loop in
g_main_context_dispatch. I always need to CTRL-C, though the
window dissappears.
(find gdb session below)
What completely beats me is that I get the HelloWorld example
from the docs to do it.

If I explicitly call on_window1_destroy_event from my delete
callback (prior to the return, of course) and have gtk_main_quit()
and exit() in the destroy callback things kinda work but it seems
awkward and like it should work differently.
(Also, if I leave away the exit(0) and want to return to main(),
I get a segfault.)


All hints or rtfms welcome,
TIA,

Karl.


Here are my callbacks:
