ok, i didn't understand why it was reused,
in fact it is useful only for create objects :-)

"often" ?
in which cases i could need a such variable later ?

ok :-)

btw, about global variables,

i hate global variables !!

in terminal programs, i used to put my "global" variables in the main 
procedure, and then i passed them at each procedure or function which 
need them

is it possible to do the same with gtkada, or need i really make global 
variables in a package ?
