[Gambas-user] ncurses fail. says Screen incorrectly overridden

[Bruce Steers]

Component=gb.image
Component=gb.gui
Component=gb.form
Component=gb.ncurses

Them's the components.
i just made a test app using gb.gui (attached)
It's got no code, no other gui components added just a form and 2 buttons.

Sounds like are you saying gb.ncurses cannot be used if your app has a GUI?
But i'm assuming i've misunderstood.
Bruce.
