GtkAda for professional GUI-Application ?

[Frank Piron <frank.piron@konad.de>]

Hi to all, who want to spread Ada
in Germany

in the next two years we will develop a client library
for a production Workflow-System. Since we wrote most of
the Server-Code in ORACLE PL/SQL, which is similar to
ADA83, we begun developing a Client-Side Library in
ADA95.

Part of this Library will also be a GUI. We started 
writing GUI-Components with Gwindows and ORACLE-OCI.
So a default Table-Browser with the known MS-Access
like Functionality.

But now we are unsure, wether its mor attractive to
choose GtkAda for the Gui-Components, because then the
Client - Library will compile in Gnu-Linux-Environments too.
Unfortunately GtkAda 1.3.12 ( Windows ) cannot handle
German - Umlaute. Further i did play around with the
"testgtk"-Application for windows and noticed that its
not so stable and smooth as Gwindows is.

Any Experiences in related fields would help !!
