I replaced the "destroy" by "delete_event" :
   gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(gr->fenetre), "delete_event",
                    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(quitter), (gpointer) gr);
gr->fenetre is the window i want to close, and gr is a pointer to a struct i
created to pass more than one argument to the callback 'quitter'.

When i use the "destroy" signal, i have no problem, the callback does what i
want it to do.
But when i simply replace "destroy" by "delete_event", it doesn't work, it
is as though the pointer gr pointed to nothing. It is not the 'NULL'
pointer, but I can't access any field of my struct. They are not NULL
either, but i get an error when i want to use them.

What's wrong with the delete_event ?

Thanks for your answers
