Re: gtkmm comments

[John Taber <jtaber johntaber net>]

Actually the problem comes in trying to set the icon later - I declare my 
buttons in the header:  Gtk::Button myButton;  then in the constructor I was 
trying to use myButton.set_label(...) but that method only works for a string 
so I guess I have to instatiate the button in the constructor declaring the 
icon.  The error was referring to BuiltinStockID which is where I was getting 
confused - what would be nice is to have a Button::set_Icon(...) or 
set_label(..)  method that would take the stock icon.
