	OH YES!  Yes, that's the problem...thank you!  I don't know what I
was doing here...perhaps something silly like if the fileselection is
killed, then kill the whole program.  Which is ...hmmmm... "ok", but what
I have above is definitely wrong.  I feel so silly for looking at the
"Cancel" button for so long, though.

	Hmmm, but if that was the case, doesn't the program get killed if
I click the OK button, but not the cancel button?  I might have to look at
it a bit deeper...but thanks so much for finding that offending line!

	Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!  I didn't realise that was
possible and I'm afraid I can write a GTK+ program, but I don't know how
to write a "safe" one very well.  Thanks again!
