Right. Sorry.

So, the "unitialized constant Widget" error that I assume is the same
you found got me to remembering that the main Shoes app file lives in
a strange invisible namespace. In that file when you say Widget you
are really saying Shoes::Widget. I think.

This simple example worked for me:

I figured it out after remember that oddity of Shoes' Ruby
environment, so in a sense.. yay.. but really, sort of disturbingly
unintuitive for one coming to Shoes and thinking, "hai, ima do sum
roobie."

Mr. _why, will namespacing in Shoes become more plain in the future,
or does this trickery facilitate something integral to Shoes'
character?
