RDP is moving forward, and at least one publisher has considered
paying someone to finish it and publishing it, I don't know if that 
went anywhere.

My book documents GtkWidget/GtkWindow fairly well I think,
GtkCList is woefully undocumented, probably because the API is huge and
everyone is hoping that we will get a new tree widget since the CList has
lots of limitations. This is a poor excuse I know, since we are all stuck
using the clist for now.

Fortunately most of the functions in the clist header are pretty
obvious...
