[Gtk-sharp-list] How do I keep main window from closing?

[Chris Howie]

I did some testing on this and determined the following:

* [GLib.ConnectBefore] is not necessary to disallow closing of the window.

* In order to properly continue with destruction of the window, do this:

args.RetVal = false;
Application.Quit();

* In order to disallow closing of the window, do this:

args.RetVal = true;
// Do *not* call Application.Quit()
