[Chicken-users] Gtk with easyFFI

[William Ramsay]

Hi,

I'm working extensively with Gtk+ in Chicken, using easyFFI.    
Everything is working fine as far as my program goes, but I have 
assertion error messages from Gtk at run time that I don't 
understand.     For instance, if I put up a blank GtkEntry widget I get 
an assertion error:

(sched:6186): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion `text != 
NULL' failed

As I say, everything works as expected, but the error appears every 
time.   

I also get:

(sched:6186): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack_start: assertion 
`child->parent == NULL' failed

which seems to be coming from toolbar buttons.    I get the error every 
time the screen is drawn or redrawn, but the buttons look and work fine.

I can live with this, but obviously there is something wrong.

Chicken combined with Gtk is the best GUI programming system I have ever 
used, and I've used most of them.    This is a great system with this 
one minor glitch....
