Where (in the docs) does it refer to 'gtk-brows'?

I'll take a look at this and see if I can fix it. If you have any more
information about this problem (or any other Ruby/GTK problems), send it
my way (and to ruby-talk).

Nope ;-) rbbr works fine for me, AFAICT. As Ned mentioned, the GTK+
assertion you're seeing refers to the location within the GTK+ source
code.

I would recommend taking a look at the GTK+ reference API and the
tutorial. You can translate from C (object oriented - GObject) to Ruby
fairly easily. Let me know if you'd like some specific examples.

Manually. ~20,000 lines of C ;-)

That's true, of course. You're free to contribute to improve the
documentation. ;-) But the truth is that 99% of your Ruby/GTK code will
just be wrappers over the underlying GTK+ functions. So the GTK+
reference API docs should be your first resource. When I first started
using Ruby/GTK, the lack of extensive documentation was a bit annoying.
But once you've had some practice translating from GTK+ (C) -> Ruby/GTK
you can do it almost automatically.

Any suggestions on how to improve the documentation would be welcome
(without duplicating the efforts of the GTK documentation project).

I hope you enjoy using Ruby/GTK.

Cheers,

Neil
