Re: Where to free dynamic allocated widgets, generated within signal handlers

I think 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtkmm-documentation/blob/gtkmm-3-24/examples/book/application/command_line_handling/exampleapplication.cc 
contains a solution to your problem. See 
ExampleApplication::create_window() and 
ExampleApplication::on_window_hide().
