I was just looking through the C Gtk tutorial (on gtk.org) in section four. 
The line you stated in earlier threads has a comment above it which says that
the statement should send a "destroy" signal to the given window which should
then kill the window.  It sounds like it could be a tutorial error because
given the current circumstances and what I've tested... gtk_main_quit()
(Gtk->main_quit in Perl) kills the whole Gtk+ app and stops gtk_main ()
(Gtk->main in Perl).  Perhaps we should notify the tutorial maintainer(s)
about this discrepancy.
