Yes, it is the right thing to do, and am myself pretty interested in making this happen. But the way I want this to happen is to create a new `sdk-tools' directory where we will be placing the GUI tools for Mono: monodoc the GUI component would go there; heap-view; Mono-prof; GNunit and so on, if folks dont mind, we could put there also typereflector and a GUI for ildasm. So we have a single "module" that depends on Gtk# Lets look at this issue after 1.1.4 is officially out. _______________________________________________ Mono-docs-list maillist - Mono-docs-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-docs-list
