Gdk Window?

Anyone have any idea about how to use gdk to make a window?

This is what i have so far the code compiles but when i execute the compiled binary nothing happens i did a ps -A check and what ya know the app wasn't running.

Code:

#include <gdk/gdk.h>

int main( int   argc,
          char *argv[] )
{

    GdkWindowAttr         attr;
    GdkWindow             *win;

    gdk_init(&argc,&argv);
    
    attr.window_type = GDK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL;
    attr.wclass = GDK_INPUT_OUTPUT;
    attr.event_mask = GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK;

    win = gdk_window_new(NULL,&attr,0);
     
    gdk_window_show(win);
   
    return 0;
}

Here is how i am compiling the code
[code=]
gcc test.c -o test `pkg-config --cflags --libs gdk-2.0`
[/code]

There are no errors thrown.

Thanks.

I'm the furthest thing from an expert on this, but my impression is that you should be using GTK to create a window, and GDK to actually draw in it.
