If you remove the line:
win.connect("delete_event", mainquit)
Does it make any difference? When the WM decoration is used to close the
window, the default action will be taken (ie. destroy the widget), and the
mainquit will be executed anyway.
The call to create a GnomeAbout() widget and call run_and_close() displays
the dialog application modal and waits til a dialog button is pressed or
the window is closed. (this is documented in the gnome-libs documentation
about gnome_dialog_run and gnome_dialog_run_and_close).
If you don't want the GnomeAbout widget to be modal, use the following:
about = GnomeAbout(...)
about.set_close(TRUE) # close the dialog when a button is pressed
about.show()
The dialog will be destroyed when the user closes it, and you don't have
to worry about it.
