Emmanuel explained that with GtkAda 1.2.8, you do need Gtk.Type_Conversion.

It sounds like you didn't read the GtkAda documentation, nor the
GNAT documentation for that matter ;-)

What the compiler said was a warning, not an error, what you forgot to do
is to call Gtk.Type_Conversion.Init, I am not sure how the GtkAda documentation
could make it clearer (any suggestion is welcome btw):

<<
@example
@b{with} Gtk.Type_Conversion;

@b{begin}
   Gtk.Main.Init;
   Gtk.Type_Conversion.Init;
   ...
@b{end}
@end example

I fail to see the necessity of such a procedure when it is as simple
as Set_Text (Gtk_Label (Get_Child (Button)), "label").

Note that if you are developping with GtkAda for a serious project, you
might find useful to buy support from Ada Core Technologies or ACT Europe,
depending on your geographic location.

Best,
