IIRC this was a limitation of the GTK3 framework that "might be addressed" at some point. if you search the pyjamas-dev archives you can probably dredge up at least 10-20 pages of Luke rampaging about it, among other related things ;) i'm actually on my way out of the office so i hope this isn't too terse, i mainly wanted to catch you early so you don't waste any time on this... because as of: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/157918 ...we no longer have a problem :) after i tried to get it working the other day, and discovered it was supposedly "fixed", i sort of raged on them myself: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114980#c<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114980#c10> 9 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77835#c52 ...but lo and behold, the patch we need was merged 4 days later, so the next release should have everything we need to implement this runtime using vanilla upstream sources, and hence should soon work properly in all modern distros (and probably Mac too!). -- C Anthony -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pyjs.org Users" group.
