AnimationFile must have a public virtual function void start(), and
m_animation must actually point to an Hbafile, so that when you cast the
void* to AnimationFile* it's going to find a vtable slot for start().
If AnimationFile's start() isn't declared virtual, it won't go through
the vtable.
With the debugger, see if 'this' (the first (hidden) parameter to the
start() function) is 0, indicating that the object didn't get passed to
start().
Note that gtk_signal_connect is deprecated and you should be using
g_signal_connect().
