Ah....your destroying the window when the user presses the OK
button. That's going to make it a little tricky! I would suggest that you
handle the destruction in the write_preferences function, and pass the
function the dialog object itself. Something like:

$okbutton->connect('clicked', write_preferences,$query,$username);

OK, then this would look something likeL

function write_preferencesa($widget, $dialog, $text_entry){
     $user = $text_entry->get_text();
     echo "$user\n";
     $dialog->destroy();
 }

Note that $widget is the button that created the event, you are always
passed that. 

and FWIW, I think $text_entry->get_text() is supposed to be
$text_entry->get_chars(0,-1). 

It says in the GTK+ docs that get_text() is depricated and
get_chars(start_pos, end_pos) should be used instead.

Does that help?
