Re: #include <windows.h>,#include <windowsx.h>

Hi, just to inform you I've actually tested these libraries on a test 
program without any gtk+ in it, and they work fine with the current mingw 
libraries i've got.  BUT, if you are aware of this, and you know it only 
occurs soon as you use them with gtk+, then could you please tell me where I 
can get the mingw win32 headers and link libs from, and how would I have to 
link these individually in my make file.

Thank you!
