The sub window, I open from my first application window, like a dialog 
box with or without modal functionality. I try to do this (snipped code):

ProfiletypeWindow *pWindow = NULL;

refXml->get_widget_derived( "profiletype_window", pWindow );
pWindow->set_transient_for( *this );

pWindow->init( *m_scope, profiletype_id );

From a button signal in my topmost window.

Yes, but hide dont hide the window ...

I have this signal bound function in my "dialog" window :

void ProfiletypeWindow::on_quit( void )
{
    hide();

    clog << "quit profiletype window" << endl;

//    delete this;
}

It write the text to clog, but it remain visible. If i include the 
"delete this" thing, it remains visible but stop handling signals, and 
only the window manager close X works.

I think I will try to take a deeper look into that project again, as I 
have a cvs checkout somewhere.

Ok, maybe a good idea !

Refcounting problems ... don't sound good :-)
