Re: GTK

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

    Hi Bill,
    
    thanks for reporting this. And congratulations for probably being
    the second ⎕GTK user (I am judging the popularity of system
    functions like ⎕GTK by the number of trouble reports that I
    receive).
    
    The problem you see is most likely caused by a missing ID in
    the top-level window.
    
    It looks like older glade versions (mine is 3.16.1)  assign
    that ID
    automatically while newer glade versions (yours seems to be 3.38.2)
    do not anymore.
    
    I have changed GNU APL so that it now prints a more
    readable error
    information if this happens. SVN 1738.
    
    I should also mention that I do not use glade anymore. I read
    somewhere
    that it is no longer supported. You may also want to have a look at
    workspace
    SQL_GUI.apl which demonstrates how to define GTK GUIs
    programmatically
    and without the need for external tools like glade.
    
    Best Regards,
    Jürgen
