??surely, you are not saying it looks like this: 

/**
 *  Function to toggle the visibility of the LilyPond text window. It refreshes 
 *  the text if needed
 */
static void
toggle_lilytext (GtkAction * action, gpointer param) {}

???There is a body to this function in the source code - essentially it
calls 

gtk_widget_show(gui->textwindow);
or
gtk_widget_hide(gui->textwindow);

which shows/hides the lilypond text.

It is difficult to imagine what could be happening. What messages are
you getting in the terminal window when you launch Denemo? There will be
some (spurious) messages about the LilyPond actions, which I hope to get
rid of for the next release, but I would expect to see more of the kind.
