In this case, avoid using gtk-standalone-main.
You can do, for eg:

(define window (gtk-window-new 'toplevel))
(define button (gtk-button-new-with-label "Hello"))
(gtk-container-add window button)
(gtk-widget-show-all window)
(gtk-widget-hide-all window)
(gtk-signal-connect button "clicked" (lambda () (gtk-widget-destroy
window))
(gtk-widget-show-all window)

Which enables you to play w/guile-gtk from your guile prompt
