did you bother to go and look at /etc/gtk/gtkrc ? it sounds as if you
have a badly formatted version of this file. 

>The program works fine when I delete gtk_widget_show( open_file_window ) or 

this maybe understandable if, and i'm not certain about this, that
file isn't read until its necessary to do so, which would be when you
start show()-ing widgets.

if its not that, then you've got general memory corruptions problems
in your app caused (probably) by pointer overruns and the like.
