It is and ways always possible to write a frontend using whatever GUI toolkit and it will certainly be easier with 1.4 than with c urrent Gimp. But we are not at all trying to be independent from GTK+. Why should we? It's the Gimp Toolkit after all... What we are doing at the moment is to seperate GUI code from the core. This should be great for batch mode and it will make the code much cleaner, but it still means that you'd have to rewrite great parts of the code if you would want to port to a different toolkit since a lot of the code is actually GUI-code. > If you ask me, we should make sure GIMP runs nicely on Windows too, in one > way or the other.

I don't see why a "native" port would be any better, but then I don't use Win32 at all, so I shouldn't talk about this stuff... Salut, Sven
