Thanks. It was going to be fiddly to create my own example C code because I'm
not actually programming in C, but instead using GTK to backend a Dylan GUI
toolkit (called DUIM) on Linux. DUIM does call GTK's C API via Dylan's C
interface, but it probably represents a non-standard use of GTK. In
particular, DUIM is effectively in charge and just wants to tell the "native"
widgets what to do.

I'll give your example a test spin soon, but I've got side-tracked by a table
layout bug which I have to fix in DUIM itself.

Cheers.
