gtkmm 2.4 from Fedora Extras RPMs crashes on Hello World

[Pierre Sarrazin <sarrazip sarrazip com>]

The following program, which is based on the Gtkmm Hello World,
crashes on my system.

Details:
- Fedora Core 5, updated
- gtkmm24 and gtkmm24-devel RPMs (version 2.8.9-1.fc5, 10 Oct 2006)
  installed with yum from Fedora Extras
- g++ (GCC) 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)
- Hello World: http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch03s06.html

My (single) source file (foo.cpp):

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <gtkmm/button.h>
#include <gtkmm/window.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <gtkmm/main.h>

class HelloWorld : public Gtk::Window
{

public:
  HelloWorld();
  virtual ~HelloWorld();

protected:
  //Signal handlers:
  virtual void on_button_clicked();

  //Member widgets:
  Gtk::Button m_button;
};

HelloWorld::HelloWorld()
: m_button("Hello World")   // creates a new button with the label "Hello World".
{
  // Sets the border width of the window.
  set_border_width(10);

  // When the button receives the "clicked" signal, it will call the
  // on_button_clicked() method. The on_button_clicked() method is defined below.
  m_button.signal_clicked().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &HelloWorld::on_button_clicked));

  // This packs the button into the Window (a container).
  add(m_button);

  // The final step is to display this newly created widget...
  m_button.show();
}

HelloWorld::~HelloWorld()
{
}

void HelloWorld::on_button_clicked()
{
  std::cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);

  HelloWorld helloworld;
  Gtk::Main::run(helloworld); //Shows the window and returns when it is closed.

  return 0;
}

Compilation:

g++ -g -Wall foo.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4`

Where should I go from here?  Are those RPMs any good?

Thanks.
