<viewpoint you won't like> Non-native pixmap GUIs are completely broken, for reasons such as i18n and accessibility. Plus you'll probably end up doing various ICCCM and other X stuff incorrectly. If you use at least GtkWindow you can get at least part of this right - you get proper WM hints setting, gdk-pixbuf, and the nice expose compression/anti-flicker. It'll still be a broken app of course. </viewpoint you won't like> ;-) Havoc _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
