Re: Combining GTK+ and C++

["Amitesh Singh" <singh amitesh gmail com>]

Hi Nickolai
I have coded in GTK+/GDK/C++ directly and used it from scratch. You
can look at my project named Samvaad http://samvaad.sf.net
Its an IM client for Google server. (talk.google.com:5222).Still this
soft is in testing phase.
The souce code may help you. Well,soon i am going to rewrite this Soft
from scratch :P as now i believe i can write better code ;)
