OK, well here I am on guile-gtk, thanks!

The error message that was snipped was:
       GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 138 (g_hash_table_lookup): 
assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed.
        ** WARNING **: unknown widget class 'GtkWindow'

That doesn't make any sense: I can't imagine that a fundamental class like 
GtkWindow wouldn't be implemented in libglade-guile. I found things that don't 
make sense to me. 'w' should be a GtkWindow, but:
        guile> w
        #<GtkLabel 809cda0>
        guile> gui
        #<GladeXML 809ab50>

I'm not sure why glade-xml-get-widget is returning a GtkLabel instead of the 
GtkWindow I'd expect.

I'd love any clues as to what I'm doing wrong, or where I would even start 
troubleshooting this. My test application is so simple that I can't possibly be 
the first person to have seen this problem.  

I do not want to go galloping off to GTK2, especially not to discover that I'm 
still making the same obvious mistake. Unfortunately, I'm wedded to GTK1.2 and 
Guile 1.4 anyway, and so will anyone who uses the stuff I might end up writing 
in Guile/Gtk.

Thanks!
