BTW, Gtk-- has its own mailing-list (which I'm cc:ing).

Which "closed button" ? If you mean the single button labelled "Hello
World" on the window, then no, this is not the "closed button", even
though it will print "hello world" and delete the window (quit the app 
actually). 

"delete even occured" will be printed if you try to close the window
with your window manager (e.g. the 'close' button in the window's
decoration).
