Try something like this:

static gboolean my_window_delete_event_handler(GtkWidet *window,
GdkEvent* event, gpointer data)
{
        gtk_widet_hide(window); /* hides the window */
        
        return FALSE;           /* prevents the destruction of the window */
}

This should work, however you might experience problems when you want
gtk_widget_show() your widget again. The gnomeicu-source is a good place
for more info on this.
