Owen,

  Thanks for the quick response.  Your comments gave me that little
push toward understanding to get everything working this evening!

  I'm still using a home-brewed select statement, but I was able to
overcome the lost timer events from my previous confused email.  I
also conquered the geometry management issue.  I did not realize that
you cannot use the ->window to to determine client space for a
widget.


Everyone else,

  I finally have a complete, if slightly odd GTK interface on GNU talk
which works well, and is quite responsive.  Once again, the web page
where you can download the updated version is here:

  Anyway, I'd appreciate any comments anyone might have on my new
front-end.  The next task is to apply various gnome attributes to it,
and to give it a set of those fancy icons. ;)

  Enjoy!
  Eric
