Precisely that, replace delete with something.  It's just a header
file, so as long as you have the gtk libraries built already, it won't
affect anything... well, beside letting your program compile.

(Though, I'm beginning to think it's a consipracy that the gtk
developers don't want you using C++ with gtk... mind you, it's a
conspiracy that I agree with. :)
