I suspect you need to add gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
inside the delete_event callback. For example:

void function_destroy (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
GtkWidget *dialog = (GtkWidget *) data;

gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
}

void function_delete (GtkWidget *widget,
GdkEventButton *event, gpointer data)
{
function_destroy (widget, data);
}

connect function_delete (3 arg) to WM decoration
and function_destroy (2 arg) to buttons, etc...
