    I have a glade-file with multiple TOP_LEVEL windows in it.  I'm using libglade to load them into my python-application.  The windows seem to be destroyed even
though the "destroy" signal isn't connected.  When I try to show them again, an empty window appears with some gtk-warnings.  These empty windows are
indestructible.  My purpose is to get the original windows only to hide when the 'X' is pressed, and later to be shown again.  Any ideas/inspiration?
