Perhaps you could write a GDK backend for Qt's backend.
I have no idea either, but I do not mind either way (qt -> gdk -> qt). I know it would be faster to impliment each widget toolkit natively, but it would also make for a more consistant desktop enviroment if we implimented a standard widget toolkit for DirectFB, and just wrote wrappers for other toolkits to draw using native widgets. Just like gtk has C++ wrappers (gtkmm), you could also write say a gdk and qt wrapper for a native DirectFB toolkit. Idealy I would like to see the toolkit being a cut down GTK, but that is just because I am a C programmer, (and not much of one at that). There are also a LOT of improvements to be made in GTK, such as nicer Open, and Save dialogs, Font selection dialogs, an intergrated desktop for DirectFB (I like BeOS, any objections to DirectFB having a BeOS like desktop (Espically the file system nav in all the menu bars on files)). Sound good? Karl Bowden -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-dev" as subject.
