[pygtk] Confirm exit dialog

[Braulio Ríos]

Researching more and more I discovered that all you have to do, is the
following:

window = gtk.Window()
window.connect('delete_event', hide)
def hide(widget, signal):
   widget.hide()
   return True

The key is that when you call the connect method, it connects this function
before the default class signal handlers, and if the function returns True,
the other handlers won't be called. If the handler doesn't return anything,
or False, then all the following handlers will be called, for example, the
destroy function which destroys the window, casually.
