Is libGWT ready for use? And is windowing just placement of visuals or is
there more involved than that. I the long run I am wanting to create a
"window manager of sort" that works under different types of displays.
Would this work underneath the tool kit or could it be implimented on the
top level. My idea is that each application space will exist in a plane on
the windowing system which would allow for buttons outside the window
proper. for example say the following is a window.
------------
| X X X X X |
| |
| |
------------
The windows could be broken apart and buttons places arbitrality around
within its application space.
------------
| X | X X X
| |
| | X
-----------
Would this be better implimented now or after porting gtk?
And if now should it be implimented as part of ggi or as an independant
library? At some point I am going to try a smoke and mirrors rep. of this
for the web page using DHTML or zope if I can find a host for it.

I am hopeing that after porting to ggi(&gwt if needed) that the port to
Berlin will be a snap. (Imageing cheesy grin here)
