This is the same line of thought I had.. The only "main" in my source
code was the function named "main". I thought I had better leave that
there :)

Anyways, I did get around it. I don't know if this is the proper way to
do it, but in case anyone is searching these archives for the same
problem, this is what I did:

In main.cc:

#include "MyWindow.hh"

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  Gtk::Main kit(&argc, &argv);
  MyWindow mainWindow;
  mainWindow.run();

  return (0);
}

In MyWindow.hh:

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <libglademm/xml.h>

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

protected:
  Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> refXml;
};


In MyWindow.cc:

#include "MyWindow.hh"

MyWindow::MyWindow()
{
  Gtk::Window * main = 0;
  refXml = Gnome::Glade::Xml::create("gotter2.glade");
}

MyWindow::~MyWindow()
{
}

void MyWindow::run(void)
{
  Gtk::Main::run();
}

As you can see, I merely moved the Gtk::Main::run() function call into
the MyWindow class and just called it from the main function. It appears
to work fine, but like I said, I'm not sure that this is the appropriate
solution. The .glade file is untouched since I first emailed the list
about this issue, and the window is obviously functionless, but that is
something I can work on now.

If anyone sees any potential problems with this solution, please let me
know. If I come across any myself, I'll notify the list of the
correction so that the archives are accurate. If you guys think the
solution is sound, I'll make up a little gtkmm/libglademm tutorial once
I make more progress and produce some content.

Thanks for the help,
