Again, I re-iterate that I have no problem with GtkHTML as a
widget/application/module whatever you want to call it...  It fills a
need, and it does a good job.  Too bad it's NOT a Gtk Widget.  It's a
GNOME widget.  It should be called GNOME-HTML ... Some people want a Gtk
HTML widget, so I have provided that for those people.	      Other
people want a GNOME HTML widget, and you guys provide that.  (And do a
good job of it)  As I have said numerous times on this list (and in this
thread) this is not about CscHTML vs GtkHTML ... It is not GNOME bashing.
 It is simply that you guys can't seem to get it through your head that
some people just don't want to depend on GNOME.  They want an HTML widget
that is only dependant on Gtk.	right or wrong, thats what they want. 
That is what CscHTML is.  It depends only on gdk-pixbuf (which will be
part of Gtk 1.4) which in turn depends on lib-art (I guess lib-art is
moving to Gtk too.. since I can't see Gtk depending on a GNOME lib...)
