I rebuild, and it works. Thanks!

Another question --

How do I get a list of default handlers? Cause I'm trying to close a 
window (msg_window) with push of a button, but --

gboolean close_window ( GtkWidget *temp , GdkEvent  *event, gpointer 
*target ) {
     gtk_widget_destroy ( GTK_WIDGET( target ) );
}

Doesn't help.
