There is already a Gtk1 port for OS/2 which works with various
X interfaces such as HOBX11, everblue or XFreeOS/2, but I want
a native OS/2 PM version.

Yes, that is what I mean with os2pm above but I was not thinking
of making it official at the moment since there is a lot of work
to do which may or may not succeed. I just would like a way to
minimize the amount of editing required during the initial
development/feasibility phase and to choose a name which would
be acceptable to all if the port is successful.
Cheers,
Dave
