If a web browser on Win32 would be helpful you can also use COM to
control IE.

There's also the Ada web server AWS. :-)

I don't think anyone was saying that. What we were talking about was the
Glade GUI builder being unreliable, and the code generation facilities
perhaps lacking a bit of polish. I have only found 1 genuine bug in the
Win32 GTK itself. That is minor a menu display glitch when using two
monitors (on two different display cards). I doubt you'll be running
into that one. :-)

I will say that I don't like the fact that all the Win32 GTK windows
have that goofy little GTK icon in the upper left corner. If I could
change that somehow it'd be nice. But that's the only complaint I have
at all for Win32 GTK. If you want a complex multiplatform GUI, its
almost certianly the way to go.
