GtkNotebooks in v1.2 and other questions

[Jim Parker <hopeye cfl rr com>]

G'Day !

I am writing a CAD system (using OpenGL) and have several problems.

1)  I am trying to use a GTK notebook widget to display different views 
of the same model.  For example one page would diplay the top view, the 
next page a side view, etc.  I can create the notebook pages no 
problem, but I can't get each page to display the model indepentantly.  
Anything that I do happens to all the pages.

Do I need to recreate all the tool bars and menus on each notebook page 
or I can I use different variable name for the OpenGL area widget.  (I 
am currently using seperate and unique variable names).

Thoughts and suggestions.

2)  Does any one have thought on an easy way to implement a drag-drop 
library of parts (something similar to visio).  I am envisioning the 
parts being listed in a clist (or equivalent) and when selected you can 
drag an icon to the selected spot on the OpenGL drawing area it 
automagically adds the part in the right scale.

TIA

cheers,
