No, I don't think that's right because all the gtk_main_quit() here is tell
the instance of gtk_main() in on_mnuFileOpen_activate to return, letting it
go through the rest of the 'Open_activate code, which is does go through. So
this isn't the problem. Besides, if I destroyed the file_selection (that's
what you're hinting at, right?), I won't be able to get at the selected
filename.

Thanks anyway.
