nope.  here is what i start out with:



    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

    gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (window),
GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "VoiceByComputer");
    g_signal_connect (window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_main_quit),
NULL);
    vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 5);
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), vbox);
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 15);

below that i create a label and call update_label;  then i handle
the alignment::



  align = gtk_alignment_new (0.5, 0.5, 0, 0);
  //gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), align);
  gtk_widget_show (align);

then i get an hbox button and call show; after gtk_widget_show, i do
the button decrease/button increase code.

i'm stumped.

  hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 2);
  //gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (align), hbox);
  gtk_widget_show (hbox);


should i NOT be called the show() here?

thanks,

gary
