Hi, all.

I am trying to do some GTK+2 coding (tutorial examples, mainly) using as fink tools (but as few as possible).

- Which window manager should I use for GTK+2? The built-in is perhaps too simple :)
All that I found (fvwm, icewm, ..) were dependent on 'gtk+', isn't that the pre-2 gtk?



Yes.

- How, then, to start a simple X11/GTK+2 app from the Mac terminal?
'startx ./myapp' gives no decoration (although the app is nicely onscreen, though :)
'startx somewm ./myapp', perhaps, once I have that wm?



You can create your own X11 startup file (.xinitrc) where you do this:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/x11/run-xfree86.php#xinitrc

e.g.

. /sw/bin/init.sh
exec <myapp> &
exec <somewm>

Thanks for any help, and sorry if this has been covered somewhere. I didn't find.
