Is the GTK backend going to be used the same way X11 is used at the moment ie. just to open a window but do all rendering in OGL?
You could always just use SDL or some other OGL wrapper library to achieve the same purpose without binding to a unix-only UI library. With SDL you wont need separate Windows code either. Just my two cents. As for the crash, I'm happy to keep using the current version of Factor, just have to leave the windows open. Cheers, Vlad.
