Thank you, Ole.  I think that's what I want, as long as I get ANOTHER
minor_window each time I call that function.  I'll try it out.

Another question along these lines is this: Is there a way to have
glade use inheritence?  Many of Murray's examples create a

class MyWindow : public Gtk::Window

or the like, in which he creates member objects and member signal
handlers.  This is nice, as it doesn't clutter up the default
namespace, but I don't see this being possible if glade/libglademm
doesn't allow you to use arbitrary classes for widgets.  Is it
possible to have glade parse a class and display it in the palette?
How does everyone else get around this?  Does anyone use libglademm?

Thank you again for your help,
