Than you for your answer, Stephen. It helped me open my eyes.
In fact, I was using the 'destroy' event and not the 'delete event'
(which is the one
used by the window manager to kill the window).
So, defining a callback for 'delete_event' was enough to do the trick.
Thanks again,
Laurent.

I'm quite new to Gtk-Perl and I was wondering how to get a window which
can't be closed by the window manager.
Look at the bottom paragraph of:
http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial/goodbyeworld.html
which briefly explains that if you attach a callback function to
"delete_event", and if that function returns a true value, the window
won't be closed.
However, programs like xkill send the "destroy" signal, which can be
intercepted if you want to do some cleanup, but you cannot prevent a
window from being destroyed.
Also take a look at the button example program available at:
http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial//button.html
Hope this helps.
