Indeed. As has been pointed out in this forum a number of times,
the fltk documentation only takes one so far; you have to look at
the source to really know what's going on. (Forgive me for paraphrasing.
I haven't the time to search right this second).  I think that's
an accurate assessment, and, in my view, it's the single most
significant defect in fltk.  It might be worth bearing in mind as
the development of 1.3 gets underway.

I hope this is taken as a constructive suggestion, which is the
spirit in which it's offered.  I don't intend to be disparaging
in any way.

Best,
Stan
