   That's the problem; I *am* explicitly showing *every* widget in the
heirarchy from the toplevel window on down as I create them.  But the
window still doesn't show up until the end.  Perhaps that wasn't clear
from my post when I put "shown" in parentheses, basically I meant that
the gtk_widget_show() call I did on the scrolled window had no effect.
