 Does automatic hide() work for you? I still have to explicitly hide()
windows before deleting...

 There's no problem with hide(). When I call it the window always
disappear.

 I did, and it was called.

 I think I have found the problem. It was not the destructor, but the
constructor what was failing. As "autohiding" is not working, and I
wasn't calling it, I thought the problem was in the destructor. Calling
hide() before delete, the destructor seems to work. But the next time I
try to open a window it gives me a sissegv.

 It seems the problem was the way I was creating menus with menufactory.
I had 2 instances (instead of pointers to instances) of Gtk_MenuFactory,
as in the example from the tutorial. Changing them to pointers has
solved the problem.

 Thanks.
 Angel.
