Thanks everybody. I managed to build ISO Master on mingw and run it on a 
stock Windows box (just copied some dlls from the mingw bin directory), 
looks like the GTK parts work fine. Still, I'll be sure to look at all 
the examples that you pointed out.

With Vista even windows application don't look native any more :) but 
all the same, is there any way to give the GTK I ship with my program a 
special theme? So at least the gray background matches other 
applications? I guess the theme is inside one of the dlls (cause the 
stock buttons do show up), but I'm willing to recompile it if that's 
what it takes.

Cheers,

Andrew
