Subject: [ruby-talk:10126] Problems with Ruby/Gtk

 Hi.

 I am using Gtk extension for Ruby and have found a little problem that I
 don't understand.

 In example code of Ruby/Gtk function jtype= of class Gtk::Label is used for
 changing justification of text in a label. It work fine.

 I have created a class derived from Gtk::Label of form:

-------------------------------------------------
class MyLabel < Gtk::Label
	def initialize(text)
		super(text)

		jtype = Gtk::JUSTIFY_LEFT
	end
end
-------------------------------------------------

 But when I instantiate MyLabel, justification is default (centered).

 I have seen Ruby/Gtk code and doesn't seem to have problem. In fact, it is
 an error that seems more correlated with inheritance mechanism.

 Am i wrong?. What can be the problem?

 Thanks.
