Just to mention that: gtk runs w/o X now (at least 'in the lab'), it is ported
to Win32 as well - as is Qt. So one day the argument that GNUstep is a
crossplatform API becomes worthless, since you can then run gtk/GNOME apps or
KDE apps on win32 or other systems as well.
One question that comes to my mind then is: why not use the gtk X toolkit
instead of the xgps X toolkit? Perhaps this is a very silly question, but I
don't know the answer, so...;-)
cheers, Phil
