Re: Strange problem: Gtkmm + Ogre3D eating widget and menu text

[Nauk Arbeshk <nauk arbeshk gmail com>]

Ok I partially solved it, the code I posted first does actually work, it 
just doesn't work with DirectX as 3D renderer
on windows, but it works fine with OpenGL. DirectX doesn't work with 
socket and plugs either. Same thing,
all widget text disappears.

I have somewhere found a post on gamedev.net saying that DirectX would 
mess up Cairo? But no answers to that.
So is it actually possible to embed a Direct3D window into Gtk(mm) or is 
that a hopeless case? Googling for it
brings a very thin close to no response.

Thanks in advance,
