Pass a function of the correct type:

gint 
hide_timeout (gpointer data)
{
  GtkWidget *widget = data;
  gtk_widget_hide (widget);
  return FALSE;
}

gtk_widget_hide() returns void, which means essentially a random
value, so could be called a bunch of times if you add it as a timeout
and the random junk in memory at the return location turns out to be
TRUE over and over.
