Please use gtkmm 2.16 on Windows for now. gtkmm 2.18 is actually a kind
of preview (I should probably have said so in the filename) which did
not yet have much testing. Also, GTK+ 2.18 on Windows has some
regressions compared to 2.16, mainly because of the new
client-side-windows code.

Thanks for testing though - both of these seem to be problems with the
installer. I will investigate.
