Hi Francisco.

You don't get windows for free. You have to create the window with a
sentence like:

  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

This gives you 'window' as a pointer to the window, which can then be
close with

  gtk_widget_destroy(window);  (or hide and show)

and you can pass 'window' as 'data' to the button if you like, or you can
hang it on the button with the g_object_set_data function.

Check the "GTK+ 2.0 Tutorial" there's tons of information there.
