No, GNOME and GTK are not identical. The GNOME platform uses GTK as the underlying GUI toolkit, but adds some widgets and pre-defined layouts. For example, the GNOME 1 Ok/Cancel dialog (eg when quitting vim with a modified buffer) is prettier than the GTK 1.2 equivalent dialog. (I just wish the GTK2 fonts would look decent! I have a decent font in xterm and vim-gtk (GTK1.2)!) -D -- Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what He has made crooked? Ecclesiastes 7:13 http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/
