This bit here looks to me like it's going to maybe trash the Preferences
window, and thusly all its children when you click it.

So, by the time write_preferences is executed, all those widgets are gone,
gone, gone...

Either get the Window to survive longer than it takes to execute
write_preferences, or have the OK button call gettext() and stuff that into
$user (a global) which is just a string and won't get de-allocated cuz you
asked GTK to trash the Window...

Disclaimer:  I ain't even downloaded GTK yet...
