Hi, thanks, it runs good, and it is a nice example of doing xs with Gtk2.

I did notice 1 small error in the examples, which I have also seen  throughout
the tutorials, that is using   :: notation where you need a  ->.  
For example in lissajous.pl around line 75, 

#$window->signal_connect (destroy => \&Gkt2::main_quit); 
needs to be
$window->signal_connect (destroy => sub {Gtk2->main_quit});

When I've been going thru the tutorials, I've seen this in quit a few of
the code snippets and code, and it probably will confuse alot of
beginners...it took me a bit of time to figure it out. :-)
