Which version of Anygui do you have -- 0.1.1?

Which back-end are you using? If you don't know, try doing the
following in an interactive Python terminal:

>>> from anygui import *
>>> backend()

(At least I think that should work in 0.1.1.)

Sounds like a bug in Anygui. If you're using 0.1.1, the problem may
well be fixed in 0.2a0, but that version is not yet considered stable
in any way, and may not be released for a while. You can still
download it (either from CVS or the nightly snapshot from tne Web
site).

Please also try the following code:

app = Application()
win = Window()
app.add(win)
app.run()

The order is important -- i.e. create the application before the
window. If you did it the other way around, this may solve your
problem... I see that this is handled the wrong way in the tutorial --
I'll fix that promptly. (It didn't matter originally, but it does
now.)
