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)
