I may have something wrong here, but I just went to the latest visual ruby gem, and now my modal windows won’t close. Same problem with the ChildWindow example. I’ve tried to follow the instructions on [visualruby.org](http://visualruby.org) to get the latest visual-ruby. Here’s what i’ve got. ruby 1.9.3 (no change) GTK+ 3.6.7 gem install visualruby (shows 1.0.13) I’m running on Windows XP. ---

Hi: I think the problem is that you’re using gtk3. visualruby uses gtk2. Try changing that, and see if it fixes it. I know that the ChildWindo demo works. Eric ---

Hi Andru: I think I found the problem. Glade must now install gtk3+ by default. So to install glade w/ gtk2: Remove your current glade install (this may not be necessary). sudo apt-get install -y glade-gtk2 libgtksourceview2.0-dev gtk2-engines-pixbuf In your Tools-\>Project Settings menu, the command line for glade should be glade-gtk2 for linux. If anyone is using a Mac, please let me know if I need to update my install instructions for Mac too. Eric ---

So I misunderstood a bit there! That didn’t work. Do you have a sense of how you would specify gtk2 for windows? ---

I think everything gets installed automatically using the download on [Visualruby.net](http://Visualruby.net). Uninstall your current version, and go to the Download page for the correct file. E ---

On [visualruby.net](http://visualruby.net), click on “Download” On the windows instructions, you’ll see a link to this file: glade3-3.6.7-with-GTK+.exe click on it, and you should be able to download and install bundled version of glade and gtk2. Hope that helps, Eric
