gtk_dialog_run queries

[Sarfraaz Ahmed <asarfraaz novell com>]

Hi,

I was writing a GTK+ app and created the GUI using glade-2. I created a
GTK Dialog with OK and Cancel button and a few text entry boxes. I used
the glade_xml calls to update the GUI components and attached a few
signals.

I finally called gtk_dialog_run and was reading the response back in a
variable and was blindly calling gtk_dialog_destroy, without checking
the value of the response [ I just wanted to kill the dialog on any
response, and so decided not to check it, is this wrong ?? ]

But, with the above code, the dialog would never get destroyed.

I then added a set_response [ DESTROY ] call in the signal handler for
the ok button callback and was calling gtk_destroy only if this was the
response. Only then, i was able to get this dialog working. Any ideas,
on why this works only in this way ??

Also, what is the reasoning behind, disabling the default "delete_event"
behaviour for GtkDialog ??
