When GtkDialog is closed via the escape key, it's just like
the user clicks the window manager close button, so you handle
it the same way:
 
 Connect a signal handler to delete-event that does
 what you want and returns TRUE

There is a conveniences signal handler prebuilt for this
situation:

 g_signal_connect (dialog, "delete-event",
                   G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_hide_on_delete), NULL);
