I would just like to say I concur with Alp on the subject, but then I think of GTK+ as a GUI toolkit. If the GTK+ authors wish to make it something else then this of course their prerogative, but I would expect many people to be surprised by this. I certainly would expect many people to want to write apps in a toolkit-integratable way but without depending on GNOME. Using GTK would seem to be the way to do this, but not if it will effectively become GNOME. I also agree that D-Bus should be standardised as a protocol rather than an implementation. I believe it's the only way to make it a universal standard, rather than something some people happen to use. Matt -- www.matthew.ath.cx D-Bus Java
