Hello Paul, > no. the window doesn't actually appear until the main event loop runs. > if you don't believe me, remove both "hide" and the main event loop.
perhaps I should comment the code some more
--
// working version
#include <gtkmm.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// create a main application class
Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
// create a window
Gtk::Window window;
// show the window
window.show();
while(true)
// run the main loop forever
// here the window is shown
kit.iteration();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

// not working version
#include <gtkmm.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// create a main application class
Gtk::Main kit(argc, argv);
// create a window
Gtk::Window window;
// show the window now
window.show_now();
// hide the window
window.hide();
// show the window
window.show();
while(true)
// run the main loop forever
// here the window should be shown
kit.iteration();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The difference between the two versions is, that in the second I tell the
window to hide and aftewards to show, but in the main loop the window is _not_
shown, although the last command to the window was to show itself. If The
'show_now' is not called, the window is also shown. It seems to me: If a window
is shown, then gets the signal to hide itself, after that the signal to show
itself before the program gets into the main loop, the hide signal is processed
after the show signal, so not in the order of calling.
I hope, you understand my problem now.
