Hmm, it appears the example I was using was broke. With the HelloWorld sample and using: main = enableGUI >> start hello the mouse and keyboard input do go to the window under GHCi. So this is great as I now can do everything I could do before in GHC 6.10. If I close the window it does remain visible in an unusable state until you exit ghci. However, control returns to GHCi and I can restart the application (i.e. run "main" again), re-using the same window. So that is an improvement over before (which crashed ghci when closing the window). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
