looks like 'yes'! -- was '[gedit-list] gedit on Windows?'

[John Pye <john pye student unsw edu au>]

FYI, just saw this page contains 'gedit':
ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/portslist.txt

and this, a screenshot!

I'd say the big challenge would be to run it with the native Windows 
GTK, rather that through CygwinX / Xming. Also maybe working around the 
GNOME-ish parts that aren't available in the Windows GTK.
