To force a Window to "close", call Widget's hide() on the Window
you're finished with.

        // I'm done
        window.hide();
        
http://java-gnome.laptop/4.0/doc/api/org/gnome/gtk/Widget.html#hide()

java-gnome takes care of the interaction between the underlying GObject
and our Java Proxy object; actual disposal of the Window won't happen
until all your Java references to the Window go out of scope (else you
could resurrect it with show(), right?)

P.S. Hackers: it is probable that Widget's destroy() method newly
available in 4.0.20 will have the same effect; someone needs to enable
reference management debugging and test the has-user-ref interaction.
