[Glade-users] Signal question.

[paskari007 at yahoo.ca (Peyman)]

This is a topic from a couple of months back between Alexey and Peter  
Keller, and I have just run into the exact same problem. However, this  
solution is not working for me

I have a main window, which opens a pop up window. And when I close  
the pop up window (by pressing the 'x' in the corner) it destroys the  
pop up window, and I can no longer open it again. I esentially want  
the pop up window to hide, instead of being destroyed.

I have tried connecting the on _pop_up_window_destroy_event,on  
_pop_up_window_destroy and on _pop_up_window_delete_event such that  
the window should hide

def on _pop_up_window_destroy_event(widget,data,wtree)
         widget.hide()
        return True

def on _pop_up_window_destroy_event(widget,data,wtree)
         widget.hide()
        return True

def on _pop_up_window_destroy_event(widget,data,wtree)
         widget.hide()
        return True

It doesn't make a difference, the window is still destroyed. Also I  
don't know why i'm returning True, just blindly following the previous  
advice.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
Peyman Askari
