My first problem is to speak english too bad . I can't express myself like I
want... :))

Imagine a puzzle with 500 or 600 pieces. Each piece is a pixmap. And each pixmap
needs to be shaped.
The problem is how to manage all the pieces without a container for each.

Like you, Paul, I don't want to use Gnome at his stage of development, perhaps
in a future ....



Thanks to everybody,
