I've solved the problems I had before (I'm on a new set - trying to
task with a gtkada fronted :) )

What I discovered -

1) Ubuntu 10.04 has a bug where gate-in.exe is contained in an /usr/
lib/ada/adalib/gtkada2/exe/ directory rather than the /usr/lib/ada/
adalib/gtkada2/bin/ directory where gate is looking for it. So I
created the bin directory and copied it across.

2) gate does not like the 'table' container widget. So now I am using
Vertical boxes as containers. (Gate generates a constraint error with
tables). So watch your widgets!

Good to see other folk are using gtkada. I just noticed that Dimitry
Kazakov has made a gtkada contributions package which does something
with gtkada tasking so I am going to take a look. For those of you who
do not know, Dimitry has been sent from the future to help ada
programmers.
