[gtkmm] Double Window Hell

[Dennis Craven <linuxnewb rogers com>]

Hey folks,

This is something probably pretty simple, but it is making me quite
angry. I've used regular GTK+ before, but this is my first time using
gtkmm and also my first libglade(mm) attempt. The problem is that when I
execute my code, I get two windows; one that I intended on getting, and
one that is just a blank window with the title "main". It appears that
the mystery window is dominant, as it is the only one (when it's wm
close button is clicked) that will kill the application.

Here is a bit of the code that I have:

File MyWindow.hh:

class MyWindow : public Gtk::Window
{
public:
  MyWindow();
  virtual ~MyWindow();
};


File MyWindow.cc:

MyWindow::MyWindow()
{
  Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> refXml;
  refXml = Gnome::Glade::Xml::create("gotter2.glade");
}

MyWindow::~MyWindow()
{
}


File main.cc:

#include "MyWindow.hh"

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);

  MyWindow mainWindow;
  kit.run(mainWindow);

  return (0);
}


I don't know if the contents of the .glade file is of importance, but it
maybe since my code doesn't look much different than the examples that
came with the packages. Could it be that the problem lies in the .glade
file? Is there any documentation for the gtkmm/libglademm combo? If I
ever get this figured out, I might write up a simple tutorial myself..
Something just to get people started using these two packages in unison.

Thanks in advance,
