After running the test application that came with gtkada, as well as messing with the version of glade that came with gtkada, and running a few of the examples, I came to the conclusion that some of the interface is shaky/unstable. Things I noticed included: -buttons not returning to their original colour after the cursor had passed over them -scrolling taking a noticable time to update the screen -certain controls leaving a sort of smearing across the screen as they were moved These aren't huge things, but they make a difference in the look and feel of the interface. When I tested the test program, using rapid clicks and motions, similar to how end-users might use the program, I was able to consistantly replicate several of these errors in multiple instances. I'm wondering if code alone can correct for these types of errors, or if these are problems inherent in gtk or gtkada. Are there any applications in which the gui was coded with gtkada that are worth checking out? Thanks -Jesse Farmer
