Those signals are very bad documented, or at least that's what I'm 
thinking. What I found out is the following: the delete_event signal is 
triggered when you choose to destroy a window (by clicking on the x or 
when you call gtk_widget_destroy from somewhere else on this object). 
the "destroy" signal is emitted when the "delete_event" signal handler 
returns false or when I use xkill to kill that window.

I would say that we register both signals just to be sure.
