RE: How do I remove the close button from a window in Fedora Core5?

["Jonathan Cooper" <jcooper guardianedge com>]

Thank you very much, Michael!   That did the trick.  It was rather
simple, I just didn't expect that the window wasn't realized since this
same code worked fine on FC6.  I just had to connect to
signal_realize...and then put the code to remove the close button into
the signal handler.

Thanks again,
Jonathan

It means that, for whatever reason, your GTK widget doesn't yet have a
GDK window.  Looking at the source code for GtkWindow reveals that it
doesn't get a window until it is realized.  So you probably want to do
the set_functions call in a realize signal handler.
