Ugh? You should never call free() or g_free() on object
pointers. Just dereference objects with g_object_unref(),
and for widgets normally don't even do that, but destroy
them with gtk_widget_destroy().

This sounds complicated and quite different from the trivial
code you posted before.

I don't know what the Glade code does, however if the window
is closed its "destroy" method should be called, and if you
call gtk_main_quit() in its handler the program should
return from gtk_main(), and thus exit.  If your code is too
conceptually different from Gtk+ "Hello Wordl" or what you
posted, post something more accurate.
