Exit from a window but the process still alive.

["Bruno G. San Alejo" <bgonzalez polar es>]

   Hello everybody, when I exit from some applications I wrote myself
(for GNOME 2.6), the process is not killed though the window gets
killed. If I press the "X" button, it quits, but the process is still
alive. I use:


void main ()
{
....

//all the initialization here
...
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
//this is the end

   I've been taking a look at some GPL apps, but some of them just do
the same thing and the processes get killed right. Some of them define
handlers for the delete_event, but I haven't seen any program getting
the PID of the process and killing it or anything like that.

   Warning: I may be leaving unfreed pointers. I suspect that maybe
GTK/GNOME doesn't like unfreed resources and doesn't terminate the
process, but I don't really know.

   Thanks.
