[Mono-list] Gdk.Keyval.Name - problem (and running GNOME-apps problem as well)

[Fredrick Nilsson]

Hey!

I'm trying to retrieve the name for a key that is pressed. I'm using a
method that looks something like this (a rough example):

	void ButtonsPressed (object o, GtkSharp.KeyPressEventArgs args) 
	{
		Gdk.EventKey key = args.Event;
		string keyname = "bah";
		keyname = Gdk.Keyval.Name ((uint) key.keyval); 
		Console.WriteLine ("keyname: " + keyname);
	}

Unfortunately, it fails with the following error message:

Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --->
System.NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object

And I just can't see the error I'm making here. 

The other problem I have, Is that when I'm making a GNOME application, I
always get these warnings:

(Command Key Edit:19114): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line
546 (gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)'
failed
 
** (Command Key Edit:19114): WARNING **: byref boolean marshalling not
inplemented
 
** (Command Key Edit:19114): WARNING **: byref boolean marshalling not
inplemented

This even happens when I implement a simple Hello World-application (for
instance:
http://go-mono.com/tutorial/gnome/bindings/gnome/hello_world.html). If I
implement a GNOME application that uses Gnome.Program.Quit, It crashes
and i receive the error: ** ERROR **: Must shutdown ORB from main thread
aborting...

Anyone that has some input on the problems i experience?
