You took that example from zcode.com -- so why do you not tell us?
That example is for GTK3 now. It will not work in its current state with
GTK2. You may asks the author if he still has the very old GTK2 version.
Or you may use other examples which have not been ported to GTK3 jet, I
guess there will exists some in internet. Or, you you may port that
example back to GTK2, I think there is not very much to modify, but I do
not know exactly what, because I am using GTK3 for years now.

Is there no GTK3 available for your OS, or have you a good reason for
using old GTK2?

If you really need a GTK2 example and can not find one, let us know, I
may provide one in the next few days...
