Right, I was half awake, and really meant Gtk::Main::init() or whatever the
mm wrapping of that C function is.

However, using a Gtk::Application is the preferred way now anyway. :-)

Great! Probably the run() isn't even needed, as I think the creation of the
GtkApplication will suffice to initialise things far enough that you can
instantiate widgets and read/write properties.

Of course, if you want to test stuff that requires widgets to actually be
realised, etc., then you will indeed need to pack them into a toplevel and
run the application in order to make that happen.
