No, I understood you.

It's not the only way.  Calling hide() works just as you expect it to --
that is, it triggers the hide signal to which Gtk::Main::run() connects
a handler that in turn calls Gtk::Main::quit() to exit the main loop.

The problem is simply that in your testcase, you are calling hide()
before Gtk::Main::run(), so the signal handler is not even installed
yet.  Also, the hide() at that point doesn't have any effect anyway
because the window is not visible yet.

The comments I added to your code point out where what happens.
