In what context did you put that statement (library-level, local variable in a
procedure, ...) ? if at library-level, remember that the elaboration code is
executed before any other code in your application, and thus gtk+ itself
hasn't been initialized.
Not much we can do here I think, except document that GtkAda functions should
not be called in elaboration code.
I would be happy to be proved wrong, though :-)
