gtk_widget_destroy() should work fine. You could gtk_widget_hide() too but
then you have to destroy it later (sometimes this is convenient).

Gtk will set a hint on a dialog window telling the window manager it's a
dialog; some window managers will treat dialogs differently if they're
configured to do so. It makes no difference from the programmer's point of
view, except that you should use GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG if it's a dialog.
