Dom, I think he told us that it is nearly impossible to order the book in his 
country. I think it is Ukraine.

As it happens, you can grab a printed version of [my 
book](https://manning.com/books/nim-in-action?a_aid=niminaction&a_bid=78a27e81) 
for half price using code `dotd121916`. (This expires in 7 hours though!).

Perhaps this would be affordable enough?

Your tip was better than useful. Here is nimish code that worked (with some 
inessential validating code):


var iconset = icon_factory_lookup_default("gtk-dialog-error")
echo "iconset=",cast[int](iconset).toHex(8)
if iconset==nil: quit("Bad Icon Id")
var dmystyle = style_new()   # contrary to some docs, style CANNOT be 
NULL
var pixbuf = iconset.render_icon(dmystyle,TEXT_DIR_NONE,
STATE_NORMAL,ICON_SIZE_DIALOG,nil,nil)
echo "stock pixbuf=",cast[int](pixbuf).toHex(8)

I don't know about the the legal issues about reselling digital books.

I was more talking about giving it away for free as a gift, I don't think that 
for that case there are legal issues.

Some months ago someone already gave away his book for free, but I think that 
was a paper version. And maybe there are some more people who have ordered a 
book but lost interest in Nim.

I thought that you're talking about  book =)

Than I don't understand how I can buy  book from someone in this 
forum. I understand that I'll somehow send him money, than he'll send me 
 book and remove it from his PC? I don't know about copyright in this 
sphere, when I buy book, I must sign/agree some license agreement?

More like a backslash vs slash problem for me. Backslash is often used as 
escape character and needs to be written twice to work or simply replace with 
slash (Windows will happily accept both as path separator).

The link you gave is VERY helpful - many thanks. I had hoped the Gtk critical 
number was a code offset - ah well - just have to continue digging out GTK 
problems via diagnostic outputs. I have been programming decades in Java (and 
previously MSWIN) so am GTK-clueless Thanks for your assistance.
