It seems that an application using any gtkmm widgets (and thus libglade
if the implementation of a widget happens to be in gtkmm) must create a
Gtk::Main object from gtkmm and destroy it when exiting.

Is there any way to make that happen from the catalog (I see that there
is support for an init function - but this object must last from before
the first gtkmm widget is created until after the last is destroyed).

I'm just getting my feet wet with gtk at the moment, but it looks like
I've stepped in a very deep puddle.
