I use this, to hide my dialog

class MyDialog :
---cut---
   def __init__(self)
     self.window = gtk.Dialog(......)
     self.window.connect('delete_event', self.hide)
---cut---
   def hide(self, dialog=None, event=None) :
     self.window.hide()
     return True		# stop any event handling here
---cut---
   def show(self, callback = None):
     self.window.show()
---cut---
