Thanks so much for the replies.

It turned out that the problem was in my lack of understanding, not of 
gtkmm, but Dev-C++ (I am on Windows). I mistakenly thought that "Compile and 
Run" would do the same thing as the similar command in Microsoft Dev. 
Studio: recompile everything that needs recompiling, and then link (just 
like using "make") -- but what it actually seems to is to compile only some 
files, not necessarily all of the ones that depend on files that have 
changed. I suspect that this is a bug in Dev-c++, but in any case the trick 
is to do a "Rebuild all" every time any file is changed.

This, of course, is tedious and slow, but it seems like that's the only way 
to be certain that all the necessary files are recompiled properly. Once I 
realised this, using an HBox worked fine.

One more question: how to control the width of a combo? I have a combo that 
has two values, "true" and "false", but the width of the combo is far 
greater than necessary.
