How does it fail for you in Wing?  Is there an exception?

BTW, gtk for Windows can only be used from a single thread; see 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-Threads.html (the 4th 
paragraph under description).  It's ok if you do have multiple threads, 
but only one can make gtk calls.  I don't think this is the problem with 
this example, but it's something to keep in mind.

Thanks,
