Kjell.  Thanks again for your input.  I have been dissenting your 
example and still am.  I misunderstood some of the full gist of this 
quote.  I mis-read "can't" to mean I couldn't remove the buttons and 
still have your code function.  That was the case I was already having.

But I see you're suggesting for me to remove the buttons and everything 
that I don't need and showing me the minimum.  I'll try this and see if 
I can get the code to work.

This is totally consistent with what I'm trying to do, and the namesake 
of this thread.

I'm still having some problems following the essentials of the 
examplewindow.cc and the exampleworker.cc parts.  But I believe I'm 
getting there!

Of course your reference to where to put my code 
"ExampleWorker::do_worker()" clears up a lot.

Thanks!
