Generally I have found that for data driven applications, GTK as a whole is very painfull to use (this is my opinion based on my first project using GTK as an interface to a control system).
I have found that Glade was an indispensiable tool in making my life easier when putting together this control system. If you want/have to use GTK i would promote the use of Glade along with libglade. - Melvin On 3/20/07, David Nečas (Yeti) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
