[Gtk-sharp-list] Weird gtk behaviour under windows.

[George Farris]

I have an app that will remote and run under Linux great but when run
under Win2k it works a few times and then the entry widget no longer
shows up.  It's very simple, the client connects to the remote object
and pops up a simple window asking for a line of text.  There are two
buttons (cancel, print).  Code follows:

Like I say I can run the server under Linux forever but under windows it
goes weird and displays everything but the entry widget after working a
couple of times.

Compiled under Linux, mono 1.0.5 and gtk#-1.9.2
Windows 2000 has the mono-1.1.7 version.

Any help greatly appreciated.  




Remoting server code:
---------------------------------
using Gtk;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;

class MainClass
{
	public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("Cupsacc-server running, listening on port
8080...");
		ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new HttpChannel(8080));

RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof(AccountNumber), 
				"control", WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall);
		
		Console.WriteLine("Application loop...");
		Console.ReadLine();
	}
}

public class AccountNumber : MarshalByRefObject 
{
	public string GetAccount()
	{
		Application.Init ();
		MyWindow w = new MyWindow ();
		Application.Run ();
		return (w.AccountNo);
	}
}



Gtk code
----------------------------------------------------------
using System;
using Gtk;

public class MyWindow : Window {
	
	private string returnValue;
	private Entry accountNo;
	private Window window;
	
	public MyWindow () : base ("Enter account code")
	{
		window = this;
			
		//this.SetDefaultSize (400, 300);
		this.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (OnMyWindowDelete);

        /* Sets the border width of the window. */
        this.BorderWidth = 10;

        HBox entrybox = new HBox();
        entrybox.BorderWidth = 6;
        entrybox.Spacing = 6;

        HBox buttonbox = new HBox();
        buttonbox.BorderWidth = 6;
        buttonbox.Spacing = 6;
        
        VBox vb = new VBox();
        vb.Spacing = 6;
        vb.PackStart(entrybox, false, false, 0);
        vb.PackStart(buttonbox, false, false, 0);
        vb.Show();
        
        this.Add(vb);

        Label l = new Label("Account Number");
        
        accountNo = new Entry();
        accountNo.Activated += accountNo_cb;
        
        Button print = new Button("Print");
        /* Connect the "clicked" signal of the button to our callback */
        print.Clicked += print_cb;

        Button cancel = new Button("Cancel");
		cancel.Clicked += cancel_cb;

        /* Pack and show all our widgets */
        entrybox.Show();
        entrybox.Add(l);
        entrybox.Add(accountNo);
        
        buttonbox.Show();
        buttonbox.Add(print);
        buttonbox.Add(cancel);

        print.Show();
        cancel.Show();
		this.ShowAll ();
	
	}
	
    public string AccountNo
    {
    	get { return returnValue; }
    }

    /* Our callback functions */
    private void print_cb( object obj, EventArgs args)
    {
	returnValue = accountNo.Text;
        window.Destroy();        
        Application.Quit();
    }

    private void accountNo_cb( object obj, EventArgs args)
    {
	returnValue = accountNo.Text;
        window.Destroy();        
        Application.Quit();
    }

    private void cancel_cb( object obj, EventArgs args)
    {
        returnValue = null;
        window.Destroy();
        Application.Quit();
    }

	
    void OnMyWindowDelete (object o, DeleteEventArgs args)
    {
        returnValue = null;
        window.Destroy();	    
	Application.Quit ();
    }
}
