Hi Roger, Rainer:

Here is the code of the spinner using Gtkmm3 instead of Gtk3+.
The .xml file generated by Glade is the same.


###### SPINNER #######

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <iostream>

Gtk::Window* pWindow = 0;
Gtk::Button* pButton1 = 0;
Gtk::Button* pButton2 = 0;
Gtk::Button* pButton3 = 0;
Gtk::Button* pButton4 = 0;
Gtk::Spinner* pSpinner1 = 0;

static void on_button1_clicked();
static void on_button2_clicked();
static void on_button3_clicked();
static void on_button4_clicked();


int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
   Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Application> app = Gtk::Application::create(argc, 
argv, "org.gtkmm.example");
   Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Builder> refBuilder = 
Gtk::Builder::create_from_file("spinner.ui");
   refBuilder->get_widget("window",  pWindow);
   if(pWindow)
   {
     refBuilder->get_widget("button1",  pButton1);
     refBuilder->get_widget("button2",  pButton2);
     refBuilder->get_widget("button3",  pButton3);
     refBuilder->get_widget("button4",  pButton4);
     refBuilder->get_widget("spinner1", pSpinner1);


     if(pButton1) 
pButton1->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::ptr_fun(on_button1_clicked));
     if(pButton2) 
pButton2->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::ptr_fun(on_button2_clicked));
     if(pButton3) 
pButton3->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::ptr_fun(on_button3_clicked));
     if(pButton4) 
pButton4->signal_clicked().connect(sigc::ptr_fun(on_button4_clicked));
   }


app->run(*pWindow);
delete pWindow;
return 0;
}

static void on_button1_clicked ()
{
pSpinner1->show();
}

static void on_button2_clicked ()
{
pSpinner1->hide();
}

static void on_button3_clicked ()
{
pSpinner1->start();
}

static void on_button4_clicked ()
{
pSpinner1->stop();
}

###### END #########

In my case, Rainer, the spinner works only into a chroot jail (i tried
it in a couple of computers).
It's very strange... And it's appearance is also different !!

... "The misterious affaire of the spinner" ...

To be continued :)
