ObAnswer: I remember someone citing gstripchart on this list, it's
probably in the GNOME software map. It might be helpful.

If anyone can give me some clues (or work on the documentation!)
regarding the X11-specific functions in gdkx.h and gdkprivate.h, I
would really appreciate it. I think I posted it before but I'm trying
to decipher this code:

  dummy_win = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
  gtk_widget_realize(dummy_win);
  gdk_window_set_user_data(GDK_ROOT_PARENT(), dummy_win);
  gdk_window_ref(GDK_ROOT_PARENT());
  gdk_xid_table_insert(&(GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(GDK_ROOT_PARENT())), 
                       GDK_ROOT_PARENT());
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(dummy_win), "property_notify_event",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(cb_root_prop_change), NULL);
  XSelectInput(GDK_DISPLAY(), GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(GDK_ROOT_PARENT()), 
               PropertyChangeMask);

Well, see my previous posting (if this list is archived), I just have
to snap up any opportunity to whine about it again.

Nice to see you here... :)
