Apologies if I'm just dense, but I've played with it quite a bit, and I can not pull the text from the entry widget. Seems like most of the ways to pull the text from the widget only returns the widget itself, not the data contained within. In addition, while playing with the entry widget, when ever the 'activate' signal is emitted (as well as when entry.delete-text is called), I get the following error:
** (filename:1925): WARNING **: rbgobj_rvalue_to_gvalue: unsupported type: (null)

the offending lines of code are:
entry.signal_connect('activate') {
   self.display(entry)
}

def display(entry)
   data = entry.get_chars(0, -1)
   entry.set_text('') <----Workaround for the entry.delete-text (silenced the orginal error)
end

Am I missing something in this, or did I trip over a bug? (BTW, seems that the ListStore is working great. Expect some docs on ListStore this weekend(In the format you specified). Still trying to wrap my head around the TreeStore though).

Question 2:
   Regarding Gtk.input_add:
      I get the error: :tried to create a Proc object without a block(ArguementError)
   The line of code in question is as follows:
      @sock = TCPSocket.new(server, port)
      Gtk.input_add(self.test(), @sock)

I'm assuming that this is something I'm doing incorrectly, (most likely not setting up blocking up on the socket being called), but I thought I would pass it along to see if you could shed any light on it for me.


Thanks for your time,
Josh

PS - I know I badger you a lot, but wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into Ruby-GNOME2.
