Sorry, I forgot about that.

Anyway, I've had a look at it and it looks like a bug in GTK+.
gtk_viewport_realize() doesn't check if the adjustments have been
created.

You can work around it by turning off the 'Visible' property of 
appwindow. Then after the call to gnome_app_set_contents() call
gtk_widget_show (appwindow);
