Many thanks to Frank and Daniel for the quick replies.

I'm familiar with this, and am re-re-checking all my project properties 
to ensure that everything is consistent.

This does raise one issue however, which is the choice of runtimes: the 
glibmm and gtkmm DLLs (and all the examples, and K-3D) are using the 
multithreaded debug dlls (debug build) / multithreaded dlls (release 
build).  I have no idea whether this is the appropriate runtime to mix 
with the GTK+ dlls which are built with MinGW.  Anyone have any 
experience with this?  It seems pretty suspicious that this failure 
happens when Gtk::Container::add (MSVC) is calling gtk_container_add 
(MinGW).  In the absence of any obvious configuration problems, I may 
have to try creating MSVC solution files for GTK+ next.

Cheers,
