[Gtk-sharp-list] GTK# App with multiple windows, where does Application.Init() and Application.Run() go?

This is probably what he meant:

Using Boo (http://boo.codehaus.org)'s interactive shell, you can
programmatically "design" GTK# applications in real time and see them
updated on the fly--for those of you who don't like the way Glade's
looking at you and/or your girlfriend. You can instantly see the
result of modifying the "Clicked" event handler of a button by, well,
something like,

button.Clicked += { print "Hello, world!" }

Me? Glade keeps looking at me kinda cross-eyed. I'll wait for Stetic, thanks.
