Ohterwise all g_return_if_fail() macros expand to nothing and gtk+ simply crashes instead of spitting out warnings and then returning from the function. The warning you should get instead of crashing is: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtknotebook.c: line 3601 (gtk_notebook_insert_page_menu): assertion `child != NULL' failed. ciao, --Mitch
