Hello wxhaskell users,

I'm new to wxhaskell and I can't solve the following problem on my own  
(tried to find a solution online for hours).

What I'm trying to do is simple: I want to display the time from now  
until a time in the future. For which I read the  current time with  
getClockTime, do some calculations and then paint the time. The  
following compiles but quits immediately when I run the app (no error).

...
demo :: IO ()
demo = do f           <- frameFixed [text := "Countdown"]
           currenttime <- getClockTime
           p           <- panel f  [on paint := (writeTimeDiff  
currenttime) ]
           set f [layout := fill $ container p $ margin 10 $ column 5  
[]]

writeTimeDiff :: ClockTime -> DC a -> Rect -> IO ()
writeTimeDiff currenttime dc _ = drawText dc (getTimeDiff currenttime)  
(Point 2 2) []

getTimeDiff :: ClockTime -> String
getTimeDiff = calendarTimeToString . toUTCTime . timeDiffToClockTime .  
(diffClockTimes eta)
                        where eta = toClockTime (CalendarTime 2010 January 1 16 
45 0 0  
Thursday 0 "CEST" 0 False)
...

Don't worry about how I calculate the time difference. Imho the  
problem has something to do with
currenttime <- getClockTime

I hope anyone sees a problem in the code. I have the feeling that I'm  
missing something fundamental here.

Thanks in advance,
  Rolf
