according to:
    http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-General.html#gtk-init
"Call this function before using any other GTK+ functions in your GUI
applications."

i will be surprised if this fixes anything, but it could. on really old gtk
there were some issues that required gtk_init to be called before just about
anything could be done. try init'ing gtk before trying to build up the ui
elements. i'd be surprised if you wouldn't have other big problems without
calling init first.
