OK, I got past that.  Now I added a mwPasSyn1 component to TestForm and created it and assigned it appropriatly.

It crashes in TmwPasSyn.NullProc but we are further.
I will continue looking at this stuff tomorrow.  Feel free to examine it.  I really hope to get something working.

also, the SETTEXT button does a lines.add now instead of a lines := 'Lazarus test';

Allright !!

Its a problem I ran into a ew weeks ago (but then the other way around)

It seems that GDK/GTK doesn't like to display bitmaps other than the color
depth you are running.  

A bitmap canvas has a gtk pixmap. By default I created them at a depth of
32, since at that time I didn't put time in asking the depth of the system.
I assumed that, like windows, a 32 bit pixmap could be rendered at 8 (on my
system I only have a depth of 8). This caused like wise messages at the
most strange places (when a button click was handled).
So for the time beeing I defaulted the pixmap depth to 8 (again assuming
that a 8 bit pixmap could be rendered at higher resolutions)
Today we found out that these assumptions aren't correct. I might look to
another way to render bitmaps of a different depth.
