Whatever, I don’t know C++. The point is, you need to call gtk_init once
per program. And gtk_main_* is NOT gtk_init, you have to run gtk_init
first.

No. You need to initialize GTK+ in your program before using anything
related to it. This holds for libpanel-applet just as it holds for any
other GTK+ based library.
