Re: Exit from a window but the process still alive.

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

   Hello, I just solved it. It was (as always) my mistake. I wasn't 
calling gtk_main_quit() cause I thought that it was called by the system 
(I guess that's my Windows API background) when the delete or destory 
events were called. Also, I was connecting these signals to handlers 
BEFORE creating the Gtk_Window object, so the pointer to the window at 
the g_signal_connect() was null and the functions got connected to 
nothing. Now, I connected them right and call the gtk_main_quit at the 
functions, and everything works fine.

Thank you very much, it was your email yesterday that made me look the 
whole thing right.
