Yeah I think so. You might be able to get away with just calling gtk_type_init(), or perhaps gnomelib_init(), and/or CORBA_ORB_init() ... something along those lines. The wombat code shouldn't require X, although it does call gnome_init, so i dunno ... Try contacting the author of that test program, i'm not sure if they're active on this list. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
