Re: GTK Coding Conventions

[Rick Sutphin <sutphinc bellsouth net>]

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the suggestion. I was hoping for 
something along the lines of an object oriented 'HelloWorld' example (I 
am not a very experinenced coder).

I am currently working through the GObject tutorial. Though I was hoping 
to find something simpler I could use until I am up to speed on GObject.

Thanks,
Rick
