Re: itches: gnome-zilla and gnome-emacs and more

I'm sure once Netscape 5.0 and GNOME 1.0 come out, this effort will most
likely begin for Mozilla. I don't know of any efforts being made yet
towards [x]emacs.

Yeah, sort of. I'm sort of working on some global key code. If you have
any cool ideas on the subject, I'd be interested in hearing them. I don't
think all of my code will be ready by the freeze date though.

I know that GNU Classpath is working on making a GTK version of AWT. There
is also work being done by someone to make Java bindings for GTK I
believe, although I seem to have lost the web url.

Enlightenment implements all the GNOME hints, but also a lot of other
stuff. You can choose not to use a fancy theme with it, which should speed
it up considerably and free memory.
