Thanks, I've since made that change.

This was what I was trying to use to fix the problem. I left
it in there so I could show you guys what I was trying to do.

Wow, that works great! Thanks a lot! One question, though. I
do get a warning about using gtk_widget_hide because it is
not a GtkFunctcion. How could I get rid of that warning?

I guess I didn't understand what gtk_widget_realize() was really
used for. I can't remember where I picked that up, but I've since
removed it.

Thanks again for all of your help, Sven.
