Hi Dmitry

I was hoping you would post, thanks.

I seriously considered using your GTK contributions. It seems perfect for me except for the fact that it involves GTK.  I am intimidated with the QT, GTK and WxWidgets landscape right now. I know I can get by just using their APIs but if I want to do something special their enormous codebases are incomprehensible for me. I have been focusing on FLTK, Fox, Tk and don't laugh but Xforms. At under 100K lines of code(Tk is a little more) someone at my competence level can still make changes/additions much like you did with GTK.

It may be trivial but once I am able to call entries I can turn a single threaded application into a multi-threaded one. One communication channel back that I am considering is returning a string  that would contain code that an interpreted language could eval. I know eval is evil but if used sparingly I think it could be quite powerful and I would not always have to return back code, it could just be a new value for a function to use with a widget.

Thanks again, i am going to go for it-Patrick
