Ok, implement

void eventBtnOk(GtkButton *button)
{
/*do your event handling here*/
gtk_widget_destroy(button);
}

You should also define a "delete_event" handler for the dialog to 
cleanup things if there are any, but I assume there will be some, before 
the dialog is destroyed. Widgets within the dialog needn't to be 
destroyed explicitly. I'm talking about some dynamically allocated data 
or something else.
