Groovy. I am looking forward to seeing that in action.

I hope someone will do that. I am not prepared to do it, though.

Well, I just look at things like RSS and wonder why the number is 1MB
bigger for gtk-- programs. But I am not sure that such a number really
says much about how much real memory is spent on the gtk-- addition? I
just do not like it for my rather small program to require a large
amount of resources.

I am probably going to use gtk-- for my next project. However, that
project eventually needs to run on Windows so I am actually still
considering whether I should use GTK+ at all! The problem is that I do
not want to develop under Windows, even though the program (when
finished) will probably not be used on anything but Windows. Sigh.
(And I did not really like wxWindows the last time I looked at it).
