Re: Using a GTK/Gnome program under KDE

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

Q1: (KDE / GNOME differences ... )
A1: I havn't got a clue.

Q2: Porting to gtk 2.0
A2: Of course this implies installing
the packages (pango/atk etc...). For the most
part; the depricated stuff can be emulated
with compiler flags
(i.e. in the headers:
#if defined(THAT_FLAG_THAT_I_FORGOT_WHAT_IT_WAS)
#define gtk_widget_destroy g_object_unref
#endif
and alot of such stuff)
If you use the CList; you'll need to change for
some other widget (hmm TreeView I think ?)

I would estimate 3 or 4 hours of 
development/testing per 1000 lines of code.
Unless of course you run into some
design issues. (Unless you have to think ;-) )

Sorry I cant help on your major problem :-\
Cheers,
        -Tristan
