Re: gtk assistant any good?

"About half the GTK2 widgets are broken"

Not my experience.  If you post some code which shows a problem...  
Preferably a simplified case, but a complete program, which demonstrates 
where you have a problem, then maybe someone can  sort it out.  If the 
above is your experience, then likely you are new to GTK and 
misunderstanding how to use it.

I have used GTK2 with C and also  pyGtk (with python) and had no 
problems, except the mistakes I made myself.  I have not tried using GTK 
with C++;  neither have I used GTK3...  Possibly there are problems with 
other development environments.  I leave it for others to comment about 
things I know nothing about.

The statement "50% of GTK widgets are broken" above is unlikely to get 
anyone, other than Bill Gates interested.
