I haven't tested, but I think you can override on_hide() and/or 
on_delete_event() and "delete this;" there. Which one is called might 
depend on how the window is hidden. on_hide() is called if the window is 
hidden by pressing a button that calls hide(). I'm uncertain which 
function is called if the window is closed by pressing the icon with a 
cross, usually in the upper right-hand corner of the window.
