Not for me -- It looks like I can't pass the result of string-to-octets 
where a :gtk-string is expected, for example: (*b* is the result of 
mk-button)

(gtk-button-set-label (id *b*) (sto "s"))
The value of STRING is #(115), which is not of type STRING.
    [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR]

What else do I need to use the result of sto in gtk api calls?

Thanks,
Peter
