At last, a trivial success

I don't know why it took me sooo long to figure this out, but I finally did.
I'm sending this to the list so that others equally as clueless as I can search 
for it later.

I lusted after being able to interactively hack GTK apps on my gtk1.2 Debian 
Woody system in an interpreted environment, using a REPL. For some reason, I 
found it difficult to get a REPL while in a GTK app: gtk-main took over my 
guile instance.

About a year ago I asked about this and got answers that for some reason went 
over my head.

The solution turned out to be stunningly simple:

(use-modules (gtk repl))

... rest of program...

(gtk-repl) ;; instead of calling (gtk-main) or (gtk-standalone-main)

I'm now in total programming nirvana: I am tweaking a GUI application while it 
is running. I find this amazing.

Thank you for writing and maintaining Guile and gtk-guile!
