Re: gtk on Motif

1) just a quick note to point out that whether you know it or not, the
email program you are using is sending out copies of your mail in both
plain text and HTML formats. increasingly on the net, there are
filters being put in place that silently dump HTML-formatted
email. some mailing lists will not ever accept such posts. as long as
you do this, you are (1) wasting network bandwidth by sending messages
that are typically more than twice as long as they could be (2) making
it harder for people using traditional email readers to read them (3)
risking the chance that people will never see your mail because its
filtered before reaching their email inbox.

its is generally *extremely* difficult to have main loops from
different X Window-based toolkits co-exist. its not impossible, but
you have to ask yourself how much pain you want to go through - it
will likely be a great deal more than you are planning on.
