Hi Bill,

thanks for reporting this. And congratulations for probably being
the second *⎕GTK *user (I am judging the popularity of system
functions like *⎕GTK* by the number of trouble reports that I receive).

The problem you see is most likely caused by a missing ID in
the top-level window.

It looks like older glade versions (mine is *3.16.1)*  assign that ID
automatically while newer glade versions (yours seems to be *3.38.2*)
do not anymore.

I have changed *GNU APL *so that it now prints a more readable error
information if this happens. *SVN 1738*.

I should also mention that I do not use glade anymore. I read somewhere
that it is no longer supported. You may also want to have a look at workspace
*SQL_GUI.apl* which demonstrates how to define GTK GUIs programmatically
and without the need for external tools like glade.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

Following the instructions in HOWTOs/Quad-GTK.html, I created GTK_sample_app.ui and offered that file to ⎕GTK.  The log show the failure.

Undaunted, I copied the XML in the instruction and create GTK_jurgen.ui.  Offering that file worked.
