Are you suggesting that I dismiss the use of Glade as well or just
Gate? I know Gate converts the XML file to Ada source code, so are you
saying I should keep the XML file and load it at runtime using
Libglade... or that I should write the GUI code using "raw" GTK?

This sample app uses GTK code in the source so I am guessing that you
are not in favor of Glade as well as Gate. Am I making the correct
assumption?

BTW... through experimentation, I have learned that Gate seemingly
does not correctly convert the "delete_event" signal to a complete Ada
function. I had to add the "Gtk.Main.Main_Quit" code manually to get
the app to terminate properly.
