If you store the pointer to the window in a global variable, you can also use g_object_weak_pointer() to have 
the pointer automatically NULLed when the window closes.  It actually uses a weak_ref, with an inbuilt 
function as the handler that simply assigns NULL to the gpointer variable you pass it.
