Hi JJ,

I have no idea what you are talking about.  :'(

I have not implemented an GTK things in Windows yet.

The report here was that an error in the code did not
show in the pop up window, but did show from a shell.
When the error was corrected, all the text that showed
in the shell also showed up in the pop up.  I was
just warning everyone about a "quirk".  I was not
asking for help.

And in the instance, I want to see the pop up.  Other
I do not and I have posted an RFE on that.
