Re: [gtk-list] Re: Dialog Boxes - help

Well, I've given up on preventing the delete events, and instead just
trying to make the dialog exit cleanly if someone closes an application
window.
But I need to detect if the application wants to exit.

How do you tell if gtk_main_exit() has been called?

IIRC all the window managers I've seen know how to handle them properly
if
the application uses them properly.
