Re: [Vala] Program doesn't quit

[Andrew Benton <andrew benton675 gmail com>]

As  a quick fix, you could replace the gtk_main_quit function with 
another function that has the same signature, but contains the exit 
method, which will be sure to bump you out of the program.  Just be sure 
to declare the exit method in your file.

extern void exit(int exit_code);

void quit()
{
    exit(0);
}
