Re: Issue with gtk+ 2.8.15 for win32

[Elden Armbrust <earmbrust xero-soft com>]

The whole thing is quite confusing.  The code in the tutorial on the gtk 
site uses destroy_event, but uses g_signal_connect.
Glade, however, appears to be using gtk_signal_connect.  This, I assume, 
is why the tutorial code worked while the glade code didn't.
So for future reference:
Use g_signal_connect, rather than gtk_signal_connect.

I may have found out how to specifically use gtk-wimp per application.  
When I have I will update this thread with my findings.

Thanks guys.
