The issue isn't with the window NOT appearing. The window that I want to
appear does appear. The problem is that the second window is created
along with my application. Every time I execute my code, two windows
appear where I only want one. Of the two windows that appear, one is my
application, and the other is a blank window with the word "main" in its
title bar. That's the one I'd like to get rid of, but I don't know where
it is coming from. This window also seems to have control of killing the
application. Does this make sense?

Thanks for the help though,
