Hi,

We are having an interesting discussion on:

news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.xpfe

About the possibility of using GDK (and thus GTK+) as the windowing
toolkit for Mozilla on platforms other than unix.

There are many opinions circulating both in favor and against GTK+.  Im
afraid a lot of these are based purely on opinion, and not on facts.  

Which is why I am asking for your help.

If you can in anyway contribute to this discussion, please feel free to
do so.

I know most of you are hackers who are not interested in advocacy, and I
feel the same way.  However, I think that folks that have more
experience with GTK+ might be able to contribute (in GTK+'s favor) to
the discussion.

thanks.
