How do I show window for for just a few seconds(see code)

["george carter" <cglobal25 hotmail com>]

Below is an example from "GTK+/GNOME PROGRAMMING".  I've placed a "for loop" 
in the program because I would like to show the window for a few seconds, 
destroy it and have another function called.  When I placed it in the 
program it managed to create the window 5 times instead of showing the 
window for 5 seconds.  I suppose I want to allow "main" to run for 5 seconds 
and then call "gtk_widget_destroy(window)" but I'm not sure how to go about 
it.  Any ideas?

/* basicgtk.c */

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

  /* Function which stops the program */
  void CloseTheApp(GtkWidget * window, gpointer data )
  {
     gtk_main_quit ();
  }

gint main ( gint argc, gchar * argv[] )
{

  /* Declare a GtkWidget to use as the main window */
  GtkWidget * window ;

  /* Start GTK+ up, and let it process any arguments that were */
  /* passed in on the command line */
  gtk_init ( &argc, &argv );

  /* Create the window itself */
  window = gtk_window_new ( GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL ) ;
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(window),
    "destroy",
     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(CloseTheApp),
     NULL);

  /* Show the window, as far as GTK+ is concerned though we just want */
  /* to make a widget visible */
  gtk_widget_show (window);

  /* Start GTK+ running so that it can catch any signals */
  gtk_main () ;

  /* This line will never be reached in this app */
  return 0;
}
