-- Hmm. I gather the widget is a Gtk::AboutDialog. I have a program
using a stock Gtk::AboutDialog (in a Glade file) that runs: 
.
.
.
Gtk::AboutDialog *_about_dialog;
.
.
.
_builder->add_from_file( BUILDER_XML_FILE, "about_dialog" );
_builder->get_widget( "about_dialog", _about_dialog );
.
.
.
void ClassGen::on_help_about_imagemenuitem_activate() {
	int response = _about_dialog->run();

// unnecessary, really:
	if ( (response == Gtk::RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT) || (response ==
	Gtk::RESPONSE_CANCEL) ) _about_dialog->hide();
}

-- I gather you are doing something along those lines. Without more
info (code snip) it's hard to tell why yours doesn't work.
