I suspect you probably got something slightly wrong in your first
attempt, and then wandered off into more and more complex variants.
Most straightforward thing would be along the lines of:

static void
fileBoxCancel (GtkWidget *w, GtkWidget *filesel)
{
  gtk_widget_destroy (filesel);
}

g_signal_connect (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (filesel)->cancel_button,
"clicked", 
                  G_CALLBACK (fileBoxCancel), filesel);


(If you use g_signal_connect_swapped(), you could use
gtk_widget_destroy()
as your callback directly, but the above is more general.)
