my first of two problems

[bert <adelante at spinn dot net>]

good evening again, list.  On advice from Marius (who i have advised to
take bicycle lessons), i have included a pared down version of my code
since i am too much the beginner to explain clearly what i'm doing or
what is wrong!!  half way down in the code you will see the
signal-connect that poses the problems for me.   the code runs just fine
(try it, please) until the signal-connect for tips-query.  much thanks
to any one who takes the time to help me.
