Did you build gtkmm yourself or did you download a binary?  I'm not
sure how much testing there has been on Vista.  Does it work
differently if you just use a normal main() function instead of that
horrid-looking thing _tWinMain thing? (unfortunately, I have very
little experience with gtkmm on windows, so I don't know what the
standard way of doing things is, but that seems to be something
specific to using the win32 API, which may not be necessary if you're
using gtkmm, I don't know)

Maybe it will work better if you add #define WIN32_BIG_AND_BLOATED
(sorry, bad joke)

Hopefully somebody with a bit more windows experience will chime in...
