I'm currently maintaining the tutorial (the English GTK version).

The comment looks like a left over from a previous version -
gtk_main_quit doesn't need the 'window' parameter. This function
tells gtk_main that it should finish (and hence, in this instance,
quit the application).

Have a look at the Color Selection section (7.9) example for a
'cleaner' use of gtk_main_quit and callbacks.
