Of course it was my fault, not GTK+'s :(  I used to write response
handlers like

  if (response_id == ...) {
    ...
  }
  else
    gtk_widget_destroy(...)

So, the widget was destroyed from within my own code, not by GTK+'s
handling of `delete' event.  Now I write

  else if (response_id == GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL)
    gtk_widget_destroy(...)

instead.  Oh well, at least I know signal propagation guts better
now :), result accumulators and stuff.
