Just where did it go wrong?

I am currently trying to make an all-purpose addon, building it from scratch with slash-commands on event-handler first, to make sure they work ( last time they didn't ).
However, after having tried time and again, and using another five addons to try and help me with this, my event(s) are still sadly not working.
Could anyone tell me just what went wrong?

XML

Code:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">
	<Script file="Gme.lua"/>
	<Frame name="GME_Frame">
		<Scripts>
			<OnLoad>
				 this:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_WHISPER");
			</OnLoad>
			<OnEvent function="GME_Event"/>
		</Scripts>
	</Frame>
</Ui>

LUA

Code:

SLASH_GME1 = "/GME";
SlashCmdList["GME"] = function(msg)
	print("Worked")
end

function GME_Event()
	print("Event Fired");
	if event == "CHAT_MSG_WHISPER" then
		print("Success");
	end
end

ToC

Code:

## Interface: 20003
## Title: GME
Gme.xml
Gme.lua

Only the slash-command do anything, the events are, as far as I have understood, never even fired.

Thank you all for your time, and I just hope this was the right place in the forum.

What does your TOC file look like?

The code worked fine for me. The problem must be, as Torhal mentions, in the TOC or in naming.

Or possibly in something you removed when you posted the code, as I'm assuming you're not actually working with an addon and functions composed entirely of the letter "X", and have removed code that might identify your addon/intention.

Ah, of course, forgot the toc.
And I took in the old name, too many X'es otherwise. Might change it later though ^.-

And I changed the first post to have everything, easier to read

...and now it suddenly begun to work.
I'll thank for the answers, and hope that this doesn't happen again.

These are redundant.

It took me 18 months to find that problem with my addon. All it produced was a mysterious nil error. I taught myself hooking to make it go away
