Hi,

The problem here is that in App.d you've declared an instance of the  
Window class, but haven't initialised it. You need to write a constructor  
for App which creates a new Window:

 //////////
 // App.d

 module app;

 import window;

 class App
 {
 public:
 Window wnd;

+ this()
+ {
+    wnd = new Window();
+ }
 }

Yes - In D all class objects are references - they behave like  
C++ pointers/references all the time - it takes a little getting used to,  
but once you've done a few it becomes second nature.

I'm pretty sure if I wrote C++ today I'd end up with lots of memory leaks  
because I'd forget to delete all the class objects I new'd.
