This worked. I now get text. But the downside is that
you can't distribute your program as a plain zip file.
You have to have an installer to set up the path
correctly after installation. 

I don't know anything about Windows installer coding
so I'd like to skip this step. Is there a way around
this? At least copying all dll's to the program
directory did not work.

The gtk demo programs work fine for me too, but my
program does not. Whenever I launch a second window
the memory crash appears. The facts:

- gtk demo programs work on Windows
- my program works on Linux
- I have compiled both programs with the same switches

What could be causing this? Has anyone managed to
compile and run a complicated gtkmm2 program on Windows?
