Thats normal behavior, you have to destroy your widgets if you
want to free the memory (usually thats not important at quit time
though).

Gtk+ is not supposed to work if you forget to use it correctly ;-)
Normally I would couple the signal_connect() and the container_add() in
the same code segment, bottom line is you are responsible for knowing
when to connect/disconnect/block your signal callbacks.
(in the above situation it would be safe, to add the child at a later time,
since you already know the button will not be clicked by a user until
its added to the ui and shown).
Cheers,
-Tristan
PS: Consider using GtkBuilder to build your widgets instead of
writing that code by hand ;-)
