Handling of window manager signals has changed a bit under 970925.
The program now receiveds a "delete_event". The window will only be
destroyed if the callback returns TRUE. Note that just having the
main window destroyed won't terminate your application. You probably
want to connect to "delete_event" and return "TRUE", then connect
a "destroy" handler which calls gtk_exit(). (Or gtk_main_quit() if
you want to regain control afterwards.)
