James, thanks for your responses.

On my FreeBSD-6.2-STABLE system, with gtk-2.10.12_2 or gtk-2.10.14,
the window flashes briefly and then disappears. It acts as if the
second show call has no effect.

I'm now of the belief that gtk+ or something it relies on is broken
on my system. I'm not sure where in the gtk+ code to start digging,
and am hoping for some guidance from someone familiar with the code
to suggest further tests I can conduct.

cheers,
