Connect to "response" signal of the about dialog and if the
response id is one of
GTK_RESPONSE_CLOSE (Close button should emit this)
GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL (but Close button actually emits this)
GTK_RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT (closed by window manager means)
destroy/hide/whatever the dialog.

I find GtkAboutDialog a textbook example of second system
effect -- I mean an about dialog with several nested
subdialogs, at least one of them tabbed?  The complete user
interface of some applications is simplier than GtkAboutDialog.
