-- Well, Gdk::Window is a Drawable that receives events; actually I have a version running that uses a table full of event boxes containing Gtk::Images inside the toplevel. But I haven't figured out how to draw the letters (I'm setting the images from .png files). I figgerd w/ the Gdk::Windows I could draw the letters & get the events too.

-- Thanks. I've moved the ImageSquot1 constructor & now have a running program that shows an empty ImageSquot1 in an empty Gtk::Window (wow!) I'll fiddle w/ that for a while & let you know when I'm stuck again.
