I've seen one change between your two posted versions that would explain it. In the working one you have:

> class Window : public Gtk::Window
> {
>   public:
>     Window()
>     {
>       add(viewer_);
>       show_all();

Whereas the original had:

> >>> class Window:public Gtk::Window
> >>> {
> >>> public:
> >>>     Window(){
> >>>         add(viewer_);
> >>>         viewer_.show();
> >>>     }
> >>> };

Comparing these extracts you'll note that the original only showed the viewer, and not the window itself, while the new version shows "all", meaning the window and all its children.
