Okay, muntyan at #gtk+ helped me figure it out. One thing I forgot to do
is show().

So, now this code works:
	Gtk::VolumeButton *my1223 = new Gtk::VolumeButton;
	myvbox->pack_end(*my1223);
	my1223->show();

but this doesn't:
	Gtk::VolumeButton my1223;
	myvbox->pack_end(my1223);
	my1223.show();

and my question is, why doesn't this last code work?

Thanks,
