You can override the functionality of that button by connecting your
window or dialog to the delete event. Eg, if you want to hide the
window (but not close/destroy it), you can do

def hide(*args):
window.hide()
return gtk.TRUE
window.connect( 'delete_event', hide)
Or you can force your window to simply ignore users clicking on that
button by doing

def ignore(*args): # do nothing
return gtk.TRUE
window.connect( 'delete_event', ignore)

As far as I know this is controlled by the window
manager.

ie. in "icewm" you can change your preference file
to include / exclude any of the buttons in the title
bar that you want to.

I'm guessing you want to do this because of the
state that's left in your program if someone
closes it using the "X" instead of a close button?

I don't know about pyGtk but in PyQt you have
a "Close Event" signal that allows you to process
what ever you want when a user closes a window, how ever
the window is closed. PyQt also has a signal that's
emmitted from the main app window called "aboutToQui t"
which will close all open windows, thus processing your
close events for each window.

This would be the type of thing to look for in pyGtk.
