Great.

Yup.

Nothing particularly wrong with what you've written, although I'd
probably suggest that

it's a bit strange to catch any and all exceptions coming out of your
constructor. I mean, if something goes wrong, there's little point in
starting the main loop; just let the Exception propagate and terminate
your program.

So personally I would have done

        Gtk.init(args);
        poste = new posteKey();
        Gtk.main();
        
But no matter.

I assume you used Glade 2 or Glade 3 to create this .glade file? But
that doesn't matter either. Just so long as you didn't try to write
a .glade file by hand!

This is bizarre.

What version of java-gnome are you using?

If you're not using at least 4.0.8 then you need to get a newer 

And if you're going to do that, either grab today's 4.0.9-rc2 or just
straight up checkout 'mainline' of java-gnome from version control.

Ok, that's just wacko.

The first things I was going to suggest were "try it without Glade" and
"did you try the simple ExamplePressMe that's on the website (and in the
java-gnome sources at doc/example/button/ExamplePressMe.java)

If you were to build java-gnome yourself, `make test` and `make demo`
should work. That'd probably be the starting point I'd suggest.

If you're able to join us on IRC, I'm sure someone would be happy to
walk through things with you.
