Re: [gtk-list] A simple question

[Eric Harlow <linuxgeek yahoo com>]

The tutuorial on the site (www.gtk.com) answers most of these questions
and more.  It's not comprehensive yet, but the source code with the
examples should go a long way towards answer some of your questions.

Closing a window is done with the gtk_widget_destroy function.  

Widgets are automatically destroyed when they're no longer needed.  They
should be freeing up all their associated memory too.

Widgets usually make a copy of strings when, for instance, you are
creating a button with a label.  You can always look at the source for
the widget creation function if you're unsure.  Just don't expect any
comments in the code.  :p
