The Glib constants do, indeed, mean what they say.  What i meant was  
that you were returning the wrong value from the delete-event signal  
handler.  You were returning TRUE to mean "let this propagate and  
destroy the window", but a return of TRUE from the delete-event  
handler means "i handled this event, stop propagation."

Ooops, mea culpa.  Those were added in r2086, which hasn't made it  
into a stable release yet.  They're in unstable 1.210.

Swap the TRUE and FALSE in your gtk_main_quit (and maybe call it  
something else, that's a misleading name ;-), and it should work as  
you want.

So this new album took us quite a while, to get it together, to find a  
title and things like that - and we were travelling quite a bit - we  
made a few sort of gestures in the East, and a few gestures in the  
West, and then we got thrown out because of our gestures - this is  
something that we decided was an apt title for a thing that's called  
'The Song Remains The Same'.
