I think you should be worrying about the delete_event signal instead, because
that's what's emitted when the user clicks on that X to close the window. If
you don't want the window to be destroyed (the default in GTK+) just hide it
instead in your signal handler and return the appropriate boolean value (I
forget) to stop further processing (and therefore window destruction) of the
signal.

It's easier in gtkmm.
