Gtk-- : delete_self

[Mark Shinwell <mrs30 cam ac uk>]

Could someone explain if I am doing something wrong: I am attempting to
destroy a Gtk_Window (allocated with "new") by calling the delete_self
function from a callback on a child widget of the window.

I cannot get it to work; the program crashes with a bus error (this is
under HP-UX) in G_SList::insert, stack backtrace

1  G_SList::insert
2  Gtk_Signal_Base::insert_connection
3  connect_to_method<int, Gtk_Trashcan<Gtk_Object>,
                     Gtk_Trashcan<Gtk_Object> >
4  Gtk_Trashcan<Gtk_Object>::throw_away
5  Gtk_Object::delete_self
6  Gtk_Widget::delete_self
7  (my code)
...

So what am I missing?   Versions: Gtk-- 1.0.1, Gtk+ 1.2.3.
