That's rather unfortunate, as I was using DSFML as my main event 
generator and handler.  I had a DSFML window up already that I 
was calling that function from.  I don't know how to make the 
crossover between the two in D.  I think I'll have to look into 
GtkD instead.  Thanks for the idea, though.
