in reply to RE: Acky Memory
in thread Acky Memory

It is worth noting that two years later, this behaviour still persists. I tried Google et all to see whether there maybe was an explicit specification that this behaviour should be expected and came up empty handed. (Of course, if anyone else can point me somewhere I will gladly stand corrected.) It can be a show stopper..

    Gtk::Window docs say

    Windows which are told to manage() are not deleted until they are sent the destroy signal.
    .

    Tracing this through to Class Gtk::Object reveals a method destroy() which states

    This can be used to tell toplevel widgets that they should die if they are managed().


    Nah! Your thinking of Simon Templar, originally played by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy
